No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here

Question

I am getting this exception when I call a DAO method which uses SessionFactory.getCurrentSession(). The DAO class is annotated with @Transactional

Answer 1

I was getting the same the error inside a shared function, but it was only happening for some calls to this shared function. I eventually realized that one of classes calling the shared function wasn't wrapping it inside of a Unit of Work. Once I updated this classes functions with a Unit of Work everything worked as expected.

So just posting this for any future visitors who run into this same error, but for whom the accepted answer doesn't apply.
