Question

I have been reading that using HibernateDaoSupport isn’t a good idea, so I need some help on how to NOT use it 🙂

Old code:

public class GenericDaoImpl extends HibernateDaoSupport
implements GenericDao {

    @Override
    public T get(Class<T> type, K id) {

        return super.getHibernateTemplate().get(type, id);
    }

}

My Dao now looks like:

public class GenericDaoImpl<T, K extends Serializable> implements GenericDao<T, K> {

    @Resource
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    // @Override
    public T get(Class<T> type, K id) {

        return (T)sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(type, id);
        //return super.getHibernateTemplate().get(type, id);
    }
}

My spring.xml is now having issues setting the datasource since the property doesn’t exist in my GenericDaoImpl.

How do I set the datasource now?

    <bean id="userDao" class="com.agilely.platform.services.UserServiceImpl">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
    </bean>

IntelliJ is complaining (and righly so) of the dataSource since there is no setter property.

How do I wireup the dataSource just like how the HibernateDaoSupport did it?

Answer 1

You supply the DataSource to the LocalSessionFactoryBean
