SessionFactory.openSession(Connection) in Hibernate 4

Question

I am pumping existing JDBC connection using SessionFactory.openSession(Connection). Now in 4.0 this method is not available. Which method should I use for this?

Answer 1

You can use SessionFactory.withOptions() and SessionBuilder.connection(Connection connection).

SessionBuilder connection(Connection connection)

Adds a specific connection to the session options

Parameters: connection - The connection to use.

Returns: this, for method chaining

Example:

SessionBuilder sb = SessionFactory.withOptions();
Session session = sb.connection(connection).openSession();
