org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, DisposableBean, FactoryBean<SessionFactory>, InitializingBean, ResourceLoaderAware, PersistenceExceptionTranslator

public class LocalSessionFactoryBean
extends HibernateExceptionTranslator
implements FactoryBean<SessionFactory>, ResourceLoaderAware, InitializingBean, DisposableBean

FactoryBean that creates a Hibernate SessionFactory. This is the usual way to set up a shared Hibernate SessionFactory in a Spring application context; the SessionFactory can then be passed to Hibernate-based data access objects via dependency injection.

This variant of LocalSessionFactoryBean requires Hibernate 4.0 or higher. As of Spring 4.0, it is compatible with (the quite refactored) Hibernate 4.3 as well. We recommend using the latest Hibernate 4.2.x or 4.3.x version, depending on whether you need to remain JPA 2.0 compatible at runtime (Hibernate 4.2) or can upgrade to JPA 2.1 (Hibernate 4.3).

This class is similar in role to the same-named class in the orm.hibernate3 package. However, in practice, it is closer to AnnotationSessionFactoryBean since its core purpose is to bootstrap a SessionFactory from package scanning.

NOTE: To set up Hibernate 4 for Spring-driven JTA transactions, make sure to either specify the "jtaTransactionManager" bean property or to set the "hibernate.transaction.factory_class" property to CMTTransactionFactory. Otherwise, Hibernate's smart flushing mechanism won't work properly.

3.1

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

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.

setMappingResources

public void setMappingResources(java.lang.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:

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.

4.0

See Also:

RegionFactory, LocalSessionFactoryBuilder.setCacheRegionFactory(org.hibernate.cache.spi.RegionFactory)

setEntityTypeFilters

public void setEntityTypeFilters(TypeFilter... entityTypeFilters)

setPackagesToScan(java.lang.String...)

setHibernateProperties

public void setHibernateProperties(java.util.Properties hibernateProperties)

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

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.

getHibernateProperties

public java.util.Properties getHibernateProperties()

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

See Also:

Configuration.addPackage(String)

setPackagesToScan

public void setPackagesToScan(java.lang.String... packagesToScan)

Specify packages to search for autodetection of your entity classes in the classpath. This is analogous to Spring's component-scan feature (ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner).

setResourceLoader

public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)

Description copied from interface: ResourceLoaderAware

Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through instanceof ResourcePatternResolver. See also the ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver method.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:

setResourceLoader in interface ResourceLoaderAware

Parameters:

resourceLoader - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object

See Also:

ResourcePatternResolver, ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by the containing BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties and satisfied BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware etc.

This method allows the bean instance to perform validation of its overall configuration and final initialization when all bean properties have been set.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

java.io.IOException

buildSessionFactory

protected SessionFactory buildSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBuilder sfb)

Subclasses can override this method to perform custom initialization of the SessionFactory instance, creating it via the given Configuration object that got prepared by this LocalSessionFactoryBean.

The default implementation invokes LocalSessionFactoryBuilder's buildSessionFactory. A custom implementation could prepare the instance in a specific way (e.g. applying a custom ServiceRegistry) or use a custom SessionFactoryImpl subclass.

Parameters:

sfb - LocalSessionFactoryBuilder prepared by this LocalSessionFactoryBean

Returns:

the SessionFactory instance

See Also:

LocalSessionFactoryBuilder.buildSessionFactory()

getConfiguration

public final Configuration getConfiguration()

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

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the Configuration object has not been initialized yet

getObject

public SessionFactory getObject()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.

As with a BeanFactory, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

If this FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet at the time of the call (for example because it is involved in a circular reference), throw a corresponding FactoryBeanNotInitializedException.

As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return null objects. The factory will consider this as normal value to be used; it will not throw a FactoryBeanNotInitializedException in this case anymore. FactoryBean implementations are encouraged to throw FactoryBeanNotInitializedException themselves now, as appropriate.

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean<SessionFactory>

Returns:

an instance of the bean (can be null)

See Also:

FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public java.lang.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 one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method 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<SessionFactory>

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<T>)

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will FactoryBean.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.

NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

Specified by:

isSingleton in interface FactoryBean<SessionFactory>

Returns:

whether the exposed object is a singleton

See Also:

FactoryBean.getObject(), SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype()

destroy

public void destroy()

Description copied from interface: DisposableBean

Invoked by the containing BeanFactory on destruction of a bean.

Specified by:

destroy in interface DisposableBean
