Hibernate version: 3

If a java.sql.Connection wrapped by a Hibernate Session and is closed by some other code, does any extra work need to be done on the Hibernate Session to close it down?

i.e. does the Session hold extra "hooks" on the database etc?

Thanks in advance.

Would someone be so kind and please give me an answer.

Thanks

Thanks Max,

I did search the forum and docs but could not find anything that answered my question directly.

Anyway, I'll keep searching.

Thanks again for the reply.

Thanks Jaikiran,

I had a look at that link, but it didn't really told me what I wanted to know, however, I did find an answer in the Javadocs. Session.close() and Session.disconnect() methods.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry guys, I spoke to my manager and that's not really the answer. The questions is: If the application that passed the connection to Hibernate, closes the connection, do I still need to call session.close() or session.disconnect(), to be sure that all references to the java.sql.Connection are being removed.

you should always call session.close() (if you don't need the session anymore)

If I create a session, providing my own java.sql.Connection, then close the connection and clear all pointers to the session.

What would be the implication be of doing this over and over again in the same JVM. Does it keep some sort of resources with regard to the database?

Let me know if this is unclear.

Thanks again.

Guys,

Just to clarify, your answers were helpful, but didn't solve the problem.
