Hibernate : No CurrentSessionContext configured

Kaliyug Antagonist picture Kaliyug Antagonist · Nov 28, 2013 · Viewed 77.3k times · Source

I'm stuck due to some silly mistake somewhere but not able to figure out !

Hibernate 4.2.6

I have referred to this question, asked several times previously, for example here

hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" 
    "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>

        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>

        <property name="show_sql">true</property>

        <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

        <mapping resource="Event.hbm.xml"></mapping>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Event.hbm.xml

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC 
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>

    <class name="com.db.pojo.Event" table="Events">

        <id name="id" column="Id">
            <generator class="native"></generator>
        </id>
        <property name="title" column="Title"></property>

        <property name="date" column="Date" type="timestamp"></property>

    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

HibernateUtil

package com.db.util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistryBuilder;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");

        ServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder = new ServiceRegistryBuilder()
                .applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
        return configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistryBuilder
                .buildServiceRegistry());
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

}

Whenever I try this :

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

I get :

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: No CurrentSessionContext configured!
    at org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl.getCurrentSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:988)
    at test.EventManager.createAndStoreEvent(EventManager.java:27)
    at test.EventManager.main(EventManager.java:17)

Edited after executing on my personal laptop

  1. The code runs fine if I use 'thread' in the cfg file
  2. If I use 'ThreadLocalSessionContext', I get the below exception(Please note that even the output on the console is now enormous than the previous run) - is it that the class 'ThreadLocalSessionContext' was not present in the 3.0 version(I tried to find in the API but the site doesn't have the older API )

Now I'm suspicious about the dtd - are Hibernate 3.0 jars being referred somewhere while the local ones are ignored, even though SYSTEM is specified? I got the previous exception(no current context) while executing the code on a machine with restricted Internet access. But when I executed the same on my personal laptop :

As per the best of my knowledge, your configuration is not proper for current session. Instead of

<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocal‌​SessionContext</property>

use

<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>

For more information on this, please visit this link:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.3/reference/en/html/architecture.html#architecture-current-session

Specially, read the last lines of last paragraph.

For those who're using Hibernate 4.1,

<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

Reference: https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/javadocs/org/hibernate/context/internal/ThreadLocalSessionContext.html
