Hibernate Save Object to Multiple Sessions

Question

I am attempting to write to multiple databases using hibernate. I have encapsulated write and read/write sessions within a single session object. However, when I go to sav

As mentioned in other answers, if you are using Session then you probably need to separate the 2 updates and in two different transactions. The detached instance of entity (after evict) should be able to be reused in the second update operation.

Another approach is to use StatelessSession like this (I tried a simple program so had to handle the transactions. I assume you have to handle the transactions differently)

public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
        final StatelessSession session1 = HibernateUtil.getReadOnlySessionFactory().openStatelessSession();
        final StatelessSession session2 = HibernateUtil.getReadWriteSessionFactory().openStatelessSession();
        try {
            Transaction transaction1 = session1.beginTransaction();
            Transaction transaction2 = session2.beginTransaction();
            ErrorLogEntity entity = (ErrorLogEntity) session1.get(ErrorLogEntity.class, 1);
            entity.setArea("test");
            session1.update(entity);
            session2.update(entity);
            transaction1.commit();
            transaction2.commit();
            System.out.println("Entry details: " + entity);
        } finally {
            session1.close();
            session2.close();
            HibernateUtil.getReadOnlySessionFactory().close();
            HibernateUtil.getReadWriteSessionFactory().close();
        }
    }

The issue with StatelessSession is that it does not use any cache and does not support cascading of associated objects. You need to handle that manually.
