Best Way to Inject Hibernate Session by Spring 3

Question

I am not sure whats the best way to inject Hibernate\'s session instance to DAO classes using Spring3. I am not using Spring\'s Hibernate Template support for this so here i

Answer 1

The Spring Reference suggests this usage:

public class ProductDaoImpl implements ProductDao {

    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }

    public Collection loadProductsByCategory(String category) {
        return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession()
                .createQuery(
                    "from test.Product product where product.category=?")
                .setParameter(0, category)
                .list();
    }
}

That way your classes don't have any dependencies to Spring, you just use plain Hibernate.
