getCurrentSession hibernate in web

Question

I am writing a web based application with hibernate and jsp/servlet. I have read about the sessionFactory.getCurrentSession and sessionFactory.openSession

I don't have an answer for your scenario because I would not implement it that way as it seems to be asking for trouble. Instead, I'd start the transaction in C, where C invokes A and B, and have C issue the commit. Skeletally:

public void c(...) {
    try {
       transaction.begin();
       a();
       b();
       transaction.commit();
    catch (Exception e) {
       transaction.rollback();
    }
}

So here, a() and b() do not commit or rollback - how do they know the entire business task has been completed? They could throw an exception or perhaps return a boolean to tell the caller that something is amiss and a rollback is needed.
