Class LocalSessionFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

DisposableBean, FactoryBean, InitializingBean

Direct Known Subclasses:

AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

public class LocalSessionFactoryBean
extends Object
implements FactoryBean, InitializingBean, DisposableBean

FactoryBean that creates a local Hibernate SessionFactory instance. Behaves like a SessionFactory instance when used as bean reference, e.g. for HibernateTemplate's "sessionFactory" property.

The typical usage will be to register this as singleton factory (for a certain underlying JDBC DataSource) in an application context, and give bean references to application services that need it.

Configuration settings can either be read from a Hibernate XML file, specified as "configLocation", or completely via this class. A typical local configuration consists of one or more "mappingResources", various "hibernateProperties" (not strictly necessary), and a "dataSource" that the SessionFactory should use. The latter can also be specified via Hibernate properties, but "dataSource" supports any Spring-configured DataSource, instead of relying on Hibernate's own connection providers.

This SessionFactory handling strategy is appropriate for most types of applications, from Hibernate-only single database apps to ones that need distributed transactions. Either HibernateTransactionManager or JtaTransactionManager can be used for transaction demarcation, the latter only being necessary for transactions that span multiple databases.

This factory bean will by default expose a transaction-aware SessionFactory proxy, letting data access code work with the plain Hibernate SessionFactory and its getCurrentSession() method, while still being able to participate in current Spring-managed transactions: with any transaction management strategy, either local or JTA / EJB CMT, and any transaction synchronization mechanism, either Spring or JTA. Furthermore, getCurrentSession() will also seamlessly work with a request-scoped Session managed by OpenSessionInViewFilter/Interceptor.

Requires Hibernate 3.0.3 or later. Note that this factory will use "on_close" as default Hibernate connection release mode, unless in the case of a "jtaTransactionManager" specified, for the reason that this is appropriate for most Spring-based applications (in particular when using Spring's HibernateTransactionManager). Hibernate 3.0 used "on_close" as its own default too; however, Hibernate 3.1 changed this to "auto" (i.e. "after_statement" or "after_transaction").

Method Detail

getConfigTimeDataSource

public static DataSource getConfigTimeDataSource()

Return the DataSource for the currently configured Hibernate SessionFactory, to be used by LocalDataSourceConnectionProvoder.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding SessionFactory, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

See Also:

setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource), LocalDataSourceConnectionProvider

getConfigTimeTransactionManager

public static TransactionManager getConfigTimeTransactionManager()

Return the JTA TransactionManager for the currently configured Hibernate SessionFactory, to be used by LocalTransactionManagerLookup.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding SessionFactory, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

See Also:

setJtaTransactionManager(javax.transaction.TransactionManager), LocalTransactionManagerLookup

getConfigTimeLobHandler

public static LobHandler getConfigTimeLobHandler()

Return the LobHandler for the currently configured Hibernate SessionFactory, to be used by UserType implementations like ClobStringType.

This instance will be set before initialization of the corresponding SessionFactory, and reset immediately afterwards. It is thus only available during configuration.

See Also:

setLobHandler(org.springframework.jdbc.support.lob.LobHandler), ClobStringType, BlobByteArrayType, BlobSerializableType

setConfigurationClass

public void setConfigurationClass(Class configurationClass)

Specify the Hibernate Configuration class to use. Default is "org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration"; any subclass of this default Hibernate Configuration class can be specified.

Can be set to "org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration" for using Hibernate3 annotation support (initially only available as alpha download separate from the main Hibernate3 distribution).

Annotated packages and annotated classes can be specified via the corresponding tags in "hibernate.cfg.xml" then, so this will usually be combined with a "configLocation" property that points at such a standard Hibernate configuration file.

See Also:

setConfigLocation(org.springframework.core.io.Resource), Configuration, AnnotationConfiguration

setConfigLocation

public void setConfigLocation(Resource configLocation)

Set the location of a single Hibernate XML config file, for example as classpath resource "classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml".

Note: Can be omitted when all necessary properties and mapping resources are specified locally via this bean.

See Also:

Configuration.configure(java.net.URL)

setConfigLocations

public void setConfigLocations(Resource[] configLocations)

Set the locations of multiple Hibernate XML config files, for example as classpath resources "classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml,classpath:extension.cfg.xml".

Note: Can be omitted when all necessary properties and mapping resources are specified locally via this bean.

See Also:

Configuration.configure(java.net.URL)

setMappingResources

public void setMappingResources(String[] mappingResources)

Set Hibernate mapping resources to be found in the class path, like "example.hbm.xml" or "mypackage/example.hbm.xml". Analogous to mapping entries in a Hibernate XML config file. Alternative to the more generic setMappingLocations method.

Can be used to add to mappings from a Hibernate XML config file, or to specify all mappings locally.

See Also:

setMappingLocations(org.springframework.core.io.Resource[]), Configuration.addResource(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)

setMappingLocations

public void setMappingLocations(Resource[] mappingLocations)

Set locations of Hibernate mapping files, for example as classpath resource "classpath:example.hbm.xml". Supports any resource location via Spring's resource abstraction, for example relative paths like "WEB-INF/mappings/example.hbm.xml" when running in an application context.

Can be used to add to mappings from a Hibernate XML config file, or to specify all mappings locally.

See Also:

Configuration.addInputStream(java.io.InputStream)

setCacheableMappingLocations

public void setCacheableMappingLocations(Resource[] cacheableMappingLocations)

Set locations of cacheable Hibernate mapping files, for example as web app resource "/WEB-INF/mapping/example.hbm.xml". Supports any resource location via Spring's resource abstraction, as long as the resource can be resolved in the file system.

Can be used to add to mappings from a Hibernate XML config file, or to specify all mappings locally.

See Also:

Configuration.addCacheableFile(java.io.File)

setMappingJarLocations

public void setMappingJarLocations(Resource[] mappingJarLocations)

setMappingDirectoryLocations

public void setMappingDirectoryLocations(Resource[] mappingDirectoryLocations)

Set locations of directories that contain Hibernate mapping resources, like "WEB-INF/mappings".

Can be used to add to mappings from a Hibernate XML config file, or to specify all mappings locally.

See Also:

Configuration.addDirectory(java.io.File)

setHibernateProperties

public void setHibernateProperties(Properties hibernateProperties)

Set Hibernate properties, such as "hibernate.dialect".

Can be used to override values in a Hibernate XML config file, or to specify all necessary properties locally.

Note: Do not specify a transaction provider here when using Spring-driven transactions. It is also advisable to omit connection provider settings and use a Spring-set DataSource instead.

See Also:

setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource)

getHibernateProperties

public Properties getHibernateProperties()

Return the Hibernate properties, if any. Mainly available for configuration through property paths that specify individual keys.

setDataSource

public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource)

Set the DataSource to be used by the SessionFactory. If set, this will override corresponding settings in Hibernate properties.

If this is set, the Hibernate settings should not define a connection provider to avoid meaningless double configuration.

If using HibernateTransactionManager as transaction strategy, consider proxying your target DataSource with a LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy. This defers fetching of an actual JDBC Connection until the first JDBC Statement gets executed, even within JDBC transactions (as performed by HibernateTransactionManager). Such lazy fetching is particularly beneficial for read-only operations, in particular if the chances of resolving the result in the second-level cache are high.

As JTA and transactional JNDI DataSources already provide lazy enlistment of JDBC Connections, LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy does not add value with JTA (i.e. Spring's JtaTransactionManager) as transaction strategy.

See Also:

setUseTransactionAwareDataSource(boolean), LocalDataSourceConnectionProvider, HibernateTransactionManager, JtaTransactionManager, LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy

setUseTransactionAwareDataSource

public void setUseTransactionAwareDataSource(boolean useTransactionAwareDataSource)

Set whether to use a transaction-aware DataSource for the SessionFactory, i.e. whether to automatically wrap the passed-in DataSource with Spring's TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy.

Default is "false": LocalSessionFactoryBean is usually used with Spring's HibernateTransactionManager or JtaTransactionManager, both of which work nicely on a plain JDBC DataSource. Hibernate Sessions and their JDBC Connections are fully managed by the Hibernate/JTA transaction infrastructure in such a scenario.

If you switch this flag to "true", Spring's Hibernate access will be able to participate in JDBC-based transactions managed outside of Hibernate (for example, by Spring's DataSourceTransactionManager). This can be convenient if you need a different local transaction strategy for another O/R mapping tool, for example, but still want Hibernate access to join into those transactions.

A further benefit of this option is that plain Sessions opened directly via the SessionFactory, outside of Spring's Hibernate support, will still participate in active Spring-managed transactions. However, consider using Hibernate's getCurrentSession() method instead (see javadoc of "exposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory" property).

As a further effect, using a transaction-aware DataSource will apply remaining transaction timeouts to all created JDBC Statements. This means that all operations performed by the SessionFactory will automatically participate in Spring-managed transaction timeouts, not just queries. This adds value even for HibernateTransactionManager.

WARNING: When using a transaction-aware JDBC DataSource in combination with OpenSessionInViewFilter/Interceptor, whether participating in JTA or external JDBC-based transactions, it is strongly recommended to set Hibernate's Connection release mode to "after_transaction" or "after_statement", which guarantees proper Connection handling in such a scenario. In contrast to that, HibernateTransactionManager generally requires release mode "on_close".

Note: If you want to use Hibernate's Connection release mode "after_statement" with a DataSource specified on this LocalSessionFactoryBean (for example, a JTA-aware DataSource fetched from JNDI), switch this setting to "true". Else, the ConnectionProvider used underneath will vote against aggressive release and thus silently switch to release mode "after_transaction".

setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource), setExposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory(boolean), TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy, DataSourceTransactionManager, OpenSessionInViewFilter, OpenSessionInViewInterceptor, HibernateTransactionManager, JtaTransactionManager

setExposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory

public void setExposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory(boolean exposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory)

Set whether to expose a transaction-aware proxy for the SessionFactory, returning the Session that's associated with the current Spring-managed transaction on getCurrentSession(), if any.

Default is "true", letting data access code work with the plain Hibernate SessionFactory and its getCurrentSession() method, while still being able to participate in current Spring-managed transactions: with any transaction management strategy, either local or JTA / EJB CMT, and any transaction synchronization mechanism, either Spring or JTA. Furthermore, getCurrentSession() will also seamlessly work with a request-scoped Session managed by OpenSessionInViewFilter/Interceptor.

Turn this flag off to expose the plain Hibernate SessionFactory with Hibernate's default getCurrentSession() behavior, which only supports plain JTA synchronization through the JTA TransactionManager.

NOTE: The SessionFactory.getCurrentSession method is only available in Hibernate 3.0.1 and later. Before its introduction, DAOs coded against the plain Hibernate API had to manually open and close Sessions and care for transaction/request scoping.

See Also:

SessionFactory.getCurrentSession(), JtaTransactionManager, HibernateTransactionManager, OpenSessionInViewFilter, OpenSessionInViewInterceptor

setJtaTransactionManager

public void setJtaTransactionManager(TransactionManager jtaTransactionManager)

Set the JTA TransactionManager to be used for Hibernate's TransactionManagerLookup. If set, this will override corresponding settings in Hibernate properties. Allows to use a Spring-managed JTA TransactionManager for Hibernate's cache synchronization.

Note: If this is set, the Hibernate settings should not define a transaction manager lookup to avoid meaningless double configuration.

See Also:

LocalTransactionManagerLookup

setLobHandler

public void setLobHandler(LobHandler lobHandler)

Set the LobHandler to be used by the SessionFactory. Will be exposed at config time for UserType implementations.

See Also:

getConfigTimeLobHandler(), UserType, ClobStringType, BlobByteArrayType, BlobSerializableType

setEntityInterceptor

public void setEntityInterceptor(Interceptor entityInterceptor)

Set a Hibernate entity interceptor that allows to inspect and change property values before writing to and reading from the database. Will get applied to any new Session created by this factory.

Such an interceptor can either be set at the SessionFactory level, i.e. on LocalSessionFactoryBean, or at the Session level, i.e. on HibernateTemplate, HibernateInterceptor, and HibernateTransactionManager. It's preferable to set it on LocalSessionFactoryBean or HibernateTransactionManager to avoid repeated configuration and guarantee consistent behavior in transactions.

See Also:

HibernateAccessor.setEntityInterceptor(org.hibernate.Interceptor), HibernateAccessor.setEntityInterceptor(org.hibernate.Interceptor), HibernateTransactionManager.setEntityInterceptor(org.hibernate.Interceptor), Configuration.setInterceptor(org.hibernate.Interceptor)

setNamingStrategy

public void setNamingStrategy(NamingStrategy namingStrategy)

Set a Hibernate NamingStrategy for the SessionFactory, determining the physical column and table names given the info in the mapping document.

See Also:

Configuration.setNamingStrategy(org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy)

setEntityCacheStrategies

public void setEntityCacheStrategies(Properties entityCacheStrategies)

Specify the cache strategies for entities (persistent classes or named entities). This configuration setting corresponds to the <class-cache> entry in the "hibernate.cfg.xml" configuration format.

For example:

 <property name="entityCacheStrategies">
   <props>
     <prop key="com.mycompany.Customer">read-write</prop>
     <prop key="com.mycompany.Product">read-only</prop>
   </props>
 </property>

Parameters:

entityCacheStrategies - properties that define entity cache strategies, with class names as keys and cache concurrency strategies as values

See Also:

Configuration.setCacheConcurrencyStrategy(String, String)

setCollectionCacheStrategies

public void setCollectionCacheStrategies(Properties collectionCacheStrategies)

Specify the cache strategies for persistent collections (with specific roles). This configuration setting corresponds to the <collection-cache> entry in the "hibernate.cfg.xml" configuration format.

For example:

 <property name="collectionCacheStrategies">
   <props>
     <prop key="com.mycompany.Order.items">read-write</prop>
     <prop key="com.mycompany.Product.categories">read-only</prop>
   </props>
 </property>

Parameters:

collectionCacheStrategies - properties that define collection cache strategies, with collection roles as keys and cache concurrency strategies as values

See Also:

Configuration.setCollectionCacheConcurrencyStrategy(String, String)

setTypeDefinitions

public void setTypeDefinitions(TypeDefinitionBean[] typeDefinitions)

Specify the Hibernate type definitions to register with the SessionFactory, as Spring TypeDefinitionBean instances. This is an alternative to specifying <<typedef> elements in Hibernate mapping files.

Unfortunately, Hibernate itself does not define a complete object that represents a type definition, hence the need for Spring's TypeDefinitionBean.

See Also:

TypeDefinitionBean, Mappings.addTypeDef(String, String, java.util.Properties)

setFilterDefinitions

public void setFilterDefinitions(FilterDefinition[] filterDefinitions)

Specify the Hibernate FilterDefinitions to register with the SessionFactory. This is an alternative to specifying <<filter-def> elements in Hibernate mapping files.

Typically, the passed-in FilterDefinition objects will have been defined as Spring FilterDefinitionFactoryBeans, probably as inner beans within the LocalSessionFactoryBean definition.

See Also:

FilterDefinitionFactoryBean, Configuration.addFilterDefinition(org.hibernate.engine.FilterDefinition)

setEventListeners

public void setEventListeners(Map eventListeners)

Specify the Hibernate event listeners to register, with listener types as keys and listener objects as values.

See the Hibernate documentation for further details on listener types and associated listener interfaces.

Parameters:

eventListeners - Map with listener type Strings as keys and listener objects as values

See Also:

Configuration.setListener(String, Object)

setSchemaUpdate

public void setSchemaUpdate(boolean schemaUpdate)

Set whether to execute a schema update after SessionFactory initialization.

For details on how to make schema update scripts work, see the Hibernate documentation, as this class leverages the same schema update script support in org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration as Hibernate's own SchemaUpdate tool.

See Also:

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Return the Configuration object used to build the SessionFactory. Allows access to configuration metadata stored there (rarely needed).

getObject

public Object getObject()

Return the singleton SessionFactory.

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

an instance of the bean (should not be null; a null value will be considered as an indication of incomplete initialization)

See Also:

FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public Class getObjectType()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance. This allows to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

For a singleton, this should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Specified by:

getObjectType in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

See Also:

ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class)

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Is the bean managed by this factory a singleton or a prototype? That is, will getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

Specified by:

isSingleton in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

if this bean is a singleton

See Also:

FactoryBean.getObject()

destroy

public void destroy()
             throws HibernateException

Close the SessionFactory on bean factory shutdown.

Specified by:

destroy in interface DisposableBean

Throws:

HibernateException
