Question

My problem is hidden in class, with 2 methods.

@Repository
@Transactional(isolation = Isolation.READ_COMMITTED)
public class RetentionController {
    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
        ...

    @Transactional(readOnly = true)
    public BaseResource getResource(String pPath)throws ResourceNotFoundException{
        ...
        Criteria critDirExists = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Directory.class);
        critDirExists.add(Restrictions.eq(PATH, pPath));
        Directory dir = (Directory) critDirExists.uniqueResult();

        ...processing results...
    }

    @Transactional(readOnly = false)
    public void addDirectory(String pPath) {

        modelValidator.validateDirectoryURI(pPath);

        //check if such exists
        Criteria critExists = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Directory.class);
        critExists.add(Restrictions.eq("path", pPath));
        ...
     }

...
}

SessionFactory is injected correctly – first method executes normally. The problem is:
addDirectory throws “No Hibernate Session bound to thread” at ” Criteria critExists = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Directory.class);”, when it is invoked after “getResource()” method.

Logs (I added marks to see where methods are started and finished: GET RESOURCE: START/END, ADD DIRECTORY: START/END):

Answer 1

The solution was – to add into web.xml:

<filter>
  <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>


<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> 
</filter-mapping>

After that exception has gone.
