org.hibernate.HibernateException: get is not valid without active transaction

Question

I'm new to Hibernate.

• Automatically created hibernate.cfg.xml (Netbeans wizard)
• Automatically created HibernateUtil.java
• Automatically created POJO class with annotations

Trying to get object from database but getting error:

Exception in thread "pool-1-thread-1" org.hibernate.HibernateException: get is not valid without active transaction
    at org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext$TransactionProtectionWrapper.invoke(ThreadLocalSessionContext.java:297)

getting an object:

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
CallInfo ci = (CallInfo) session.get(CallInfo.class, ucid);

hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sochi_feedback</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.query.factory_class">org.hibernate.hql.classic.ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory</property>
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>

Answer 1

Add

Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction(); //This statement will initiate the transaction

just before your CallInfo ci = (CallInfo) session.get(CallInfo.class, ucid);

and at the end of your transaction commit the changes by calling..

tx.commit();

Answer 2

Another solution is to use openSession() instead of getCurrentSession(). Then transactions can be used only when required for updating queries.

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
CallInfo ci = (CallInfo) session.get(CallInfo.class, ucid);
