Multi-Tenancy with Spring + Hibernate: "SessionFactory configured for multi-tenancy, but no tenant identifier specified"

java spring hibernate multi-tenant

In a Spring 3 application, I'm trying to implement multi-tenancy via Hibernate 4's native MultiTenantConnectionProvider and CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver. I see that there was a problem with this in Hibernate 4.1.3, but I'm running 4.1.9 and still getting a similar exception:

   Caused by:

Below is the relevant code. In the MultiTenantConnectionProvider I've simply wrote some dumb code for now that just returns a new connection every time, and the CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver always returns the same ID at this point. Obviously this logic was to be implemented after I managed to get the connections to instantiate.

MultiTenantConnectionProvider.java

package com.afflatus.edu.thoth.connection;

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.spi.AbstractMultiTenantConnectionProvider;
import org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider;
import org.hibernate.ejb.connection.InjectedDataSourceConnectionProvider;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.hibernate.cfg.*;

public class MultiTenantConnectionProviderImpl extends AbstractMultiTenantConnectionProvider {

    private final Map<String, ConnectionProvider> connectionProviders
        = new HashMap<String, ConnectionProvider>();

    @Override
    protected ConnectionProvider getAnyConnectionProvider() {

        System.out.println("barfoo");
        Properties properties = getConnectionProperties();

        DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        ds.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        ds.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test");
        ds.setUsername("root");
        ds.setPassword("");

        InjectedDataSourceConnectionProvider defaultProvider = new InjectedDataSourceConnectionProvider();
        defaultProvider.setDataSource(ds);
        defaultProvider.configure(properties);

        return (ConnectionProvider) defaultProvider;
    }


    @Override
    protected ConnectionProvider selectConnectionProvider(String tenantIdentifier) {
        System.out.println("foobar");
        Properties properties = getConnectionProperties();

        DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        ds.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        ds.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test2");
        ds.setUsername("root");
        ds.setPassword("");

        InjectedDataSourceConnectionProvider defaultProvider = new InjectedDataSourceConnectionProvider();
        defaultProvider.setDataSource(ds);
        defaultProvider.configure(properties);

        return (ConnectionProvider) defaultProvider;
    }

    private Properties getConnectionProperties() {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put(AvailableSettings.DIALECT, "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect");
        properties.put(AvailableSettings.DRIVER, "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        properties.put(AvailableSettings.URL, "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test");
        properties.put(AvailableSettings.USER, "root");
        properties.put(AvailableSettings.PASS, "");

        return properties;

    }
}

CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver.java

package com.afflatus.edu.thoth.context;

import org.hibernate.context.spi.CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver;

public class CurrentTenantIdentifierResolverImpl implements CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver {

    public String resolveCurrentTenantIdentifier() {
        return "1";
    }

    public boolean validateExistingCurrentSessions() {
        return true;
    }

}

Can anybody see anything specifically wrong? This throws an exception as soon as a transaction is opened. It seems like the SessionFactory isn't opening the Session correctly, or the Session is simply ignoring the value returned by the CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver, which I believe was the issue in Hibernate 4.1.3; this was supposed to have been resolved.

Are you using @Transactional anywhere in your code (ie mark a service or dao class/method)?
I was running into the same error until I commented out the @Transactional in my service class.
I think it's related to the default openSessionInThread behavior of Hibernate 4.

I also have hibernate configured without a custom implementation of the ConnectionProvider and TenantIdentifierResolver. I'm using the jndi-based approach, setting the hibernate.connection.datasource to java://comp/env/jdbc/, and then passing in the name of the jndi resource into my dao methods, which call

sessionFactory.withOptions().tenantIdentifier(tenant).openSession();

I'm still playing around to see if I can get a configuration working with @Transactional, but the jndi-based approach with the default session in thread behavior seems to be working now.
