public class OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter
extends OncePerRequestFilter

Servlet 2.3 Filter that binds a JPA EntityManager to the thread for the entire processing of the request. Intended for the "Open EntityManager in View" pattern, i.e. to allow for lazy loading in web views despite the original transactions already being completed.

This filter makes JPA EntityManagers available via the current thread, which will be autodetected by transaction managers. It is suitable for service layer transactions via JpaTransactionManager or JtaTransactionManager as well as for non-transactional read-only execution.

Looks up the EntityManagerFactory in Spring's root web application context. Supports a "entityManagerFactoryBeanName" filter init-param in web.xml; the default bean name is "entityManagerFactory". Looks up the EntityManagerFactory on each request, to avoid initialization order issues (when using ContextLoaderServlet, the root application context will get initialized after this filter).

Method Detail

setEntityManagerFactoryBeanName

public void setEntityManagerFactoryBeanName(String entityManagerFactoryBeanName)
Set the bean name of the EntityManagerFactory to fetch from Spring's root application context. Default is "entityManagerFactory".

DEFAULT_PERSISTENCE_MANAGER_FACTORY_BEAN_NAME

getEntityManagerFactoryBeanName

protected String getEntityManagerFactoryBeanName()

doFilterInternal

protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
                                HttpServletResponse response,
                                FilterChain filterChain)
                         throws ServletException,
                                IOException
Description copied from class: OncePerRequestFilter
Same contract as for doFilter, but guaranteed to be just invoked once per request. Provides HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse arguments instead of the default ServletRequest and ServletResponse ones.

Specified by:
doFilterInternal in class OncePerRequestFilter
Throws:
ServletException
IOException

lookupEntityManagerFactory

protected javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory lookupEntityManagerFactory(HttpServletRequest request)
Look up the EntityManagerFactory that this filter should use, taking the current HTTP request as argument.

Default implementation delegates to the lookupEntityManagerFactory without arguments.

Returns:
the EntityManagerFactory to use
See Also:
lookupEntityManagerFactory()

lookupEntityManagerFactory

protected javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory lookupEntityManagerFactory()
Look up the EntityManagerFactory that this filter should use. The default implementation looks for a bean with the specified name in Spring's root application context.

Returns:
the EntityManagerFactory to use
See Also:
getEntityManagerFactoryBeanName()

createEntityManager

protected javax.persistence.EntityManager createEntityManager(javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory emf)
Create a JPA EntityManager to be bound to a request.

Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:
emf - the EntityManagerFactory to use
See Also:
EntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager()
