Spring and hibernate: No Session found for current thread

Question

im gettting the following error

org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread
at org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.SpringSessionCont         


        

Answer 1

I'll just add something that took me some time to debug : don't forget that a @Transactional annotation will only work on "public" methods.

I put some @Transactional on "protected" ones and got this error.

Hope it helps :)

Method visibility and @Transactional

When using proxies, you should apply the @Transactional annotation only to methods with public visibility. If you do annotate protected, private or package-visible methods with the @Transactional annotation, no error is raised, but the annotated method does not exhibit the configured transactional settings. Consider the use of AspectJ (see below) if you need to annotate non-public methods.
