HibernateInterceptor with spring 3.1 and hibernate 4.01

Question

I'm running into problems upgrading from hibernate 3.6 to 4.0.1 (spring from 3 to 3.1).

I'm using hibernateinterceptors for injecting the session when calling some methods (e.g. a OnMessage call, Cron updater etc) and OpennSessionInView interceptor for the web requests. It has been working fine with hib 3.6 and spring 3.0, but as of hibernate4 I can't get it to work. The hibernateInterceptor is only available in the hibernate3 package and using that will not make it work

Any ideas what I should do ?

Removing the interceptor thing make me able to start things, but once I try calling the dao's from a request not from the web, I'm getting "No session bound exception".

Is there a better way to intercept the dao's then using the hibernate interceptor or should I use another technique? As said, I'm using the dao's from web requests (which are handled fine with the opensessioninview), JMS OnMessage, and SpringCron and in initialization code which is not working.

Here's the basic setup for the dao's

Exception thrown when using the hibernate interceptor is:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.SessionFactory.openSession()Lorg/hibernate/classic/Session;
at  org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.SessionFactoryUtils.doGetSession(SessionFactoryUtils.java:322)

Or many this is a bug, the classic.Session does it exist in hibernate 4 ?

The exception is thrown from within a constructor of a class which tries to access a dao. This was working perfectly well with hibernate 3.6 but after upgrade I can't get this to work.

Answer 1

If you are using hibernate 4.x on spring 3.1 or 4.x you you should use classes from package org.springframework.orm.hibernate4 instead of org.springframework.orm.hibernate3

HibernateInterceptor has been deprecated earlier. You should be using org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.support.OpenSessionInterceptor
