I have a Java application that uses Spring/Hibernate (running on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk) with a normal Amazon RDS instance. To distribute load, I’m adding a read-replica. I swapped the DB.url to the read replica and tested a method that should only reading data (the methods are definitely not using UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE). The application, however, is returning errors.
My questions: Why is the application failing when only reading data? How can I configure Spring/Hibernate to work with a read-replica?
The Details:
The error I’m getting is:
INFO: Internal error in method IEngageManager.getSimpleExamActivityLiveResults, ARGUMENTS=[

The code that calls the DB:
public LecturerBO getLecturerByCode(Credentials credentials) {
return findSingleResultByCriteria(LecturerBO.class,Restrictions.eq("loginCode",credentials.getPassword()));
}
where
protected <T> T findSingleResultByCriteria(Class<T> clazz, Criterion... criterion) {
Criteria crit = getSession().createCriteria(clazz);
for (Criterion c : criterion) {
crit.add(c);
}
return (T) crit.uniqueResult();
}
And last, the Hibernate configuration:
<bean id="generalManagerProxyTemplate"

<property name="proxyTargetClass" value="true"/>

And last, as a sanity check, I did connect with the read-replica directly and via a simple script that executed SELECT queries that I hosted on a third-party server. All worked as expected.
Also, in my research before posting this question, most answers focused on the @Transactional annotation, which we don’t use. Sad panda.
Thanks for any help.
To provide that type of access (Only Read-Replica) you have to implement this property.
here, i use this two to allow store and add into DB. you have to remove this if you not require.
