Spring 3.2 + Hibernate 4 OpenSessionInViewFilter

Question

I\'m a Spring newbie trying my first app. My hibernate gets closed before the view is rendered and having problems with lazy loaded properties (expected behavior). I\'ve added

Answer 1

My controllers where initialized twice, the same config was used by the root ApplicationContext and by the FrameworkServlet. I've had two contexts initialized. I've created a config for the root context named springapp.xml and moved all my middle tier configuration there and left my web tier configuration in springapp-servlet.xml

My web.xml now looks like this and everything works fine:

      
            contextConfigLocation
            
                /WEB-INF/springapp.xml
        
        

     
            org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
        


      hibernateFilter
      org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter
      
         sessionFactoryBeanName
         sessionFactory         
            
   

   
     hibernateFilter
    /*
    REQUEST
    FORWARD
    

    
        springapp
        org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
        
                contextConfigLocation
                /WEB-INF/springapp-servlet.xml
