No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here

Question

I am getting this exception when I call a DAO method which uses SessionFactory.getCurrentSession(). The DAO class is annotated with @Transactional

Answer 1

I got the following error:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here
    at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.SpringSessionContext.currentSession(SpringSessionContext.java:63)

I fixed this by changing my hibernate properties file

hibernate.current_session_context_class=thread

My code and configuration file as follows

session =  getHibernateTemplate().getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

session.beginTransaction();

session.createQuery(Qry).executeUpdate();

session.getTransaction().commit();

on properties file

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

hibernate.show_sql=true

hibernate.query_factory_class=org.hibernate.hql.ast.ASTQueryTranslatorFactory

hibernate.current_session_context_class=thread

on cofiguration file

${hibernate.dialect}
${hibernate.show_sql}         
${hibernate.query_factory_class}       
true
${hibernate.current_session_context_class}

Thanks,
