No CurrentSessionContext configured, while using getCurrentSession()

I am changing my code from openSession() to getCurrentSession() so it won't create connections at each request.
I have done code in class as:
public Session openSession(boolean current1){
int count = 0;
int MAX_COUNT = 10;
// this.printIdMap();
while( count++ < MAX_COUNT) {
try {
this.session = this.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
this.transaction = this.session.beginTransaction();
this.IncDecCounter(true);
// this.session.getTransaction().commit();
break;
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
this.printIdMap();
e.printStackTrace();
try { this.session.close(); } catch( Exception e1 ) {}
}
}
return this.session;
}
I have checked in multiple places to set property in hibernate.cfg.xml file.
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
I also tried
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocal‌​SessionContext</property>
but facing error as
org.hibernate.HibernateException: No CurrentSessionContext configured!
The hibernate version which I am using is 5.4.1

Lets imagine your Hibernate session manager class looks like this
public class HibernateSessionManager {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
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;
}
}
Use this property in your configuration file
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
Instead of you currecnt one i.e
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocal‌​SessionContext</property>
And get your session with
Session session = HibernateSessionManager.getSessionFactory().openSession();

Change location of hibernate.properties file while using hibernate.cfg.xml

We provide db credential in hibernate.cfg.xml as
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">url</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">username</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
<session-factory>
<hibernate-configuration>
Either we can provide these properties here or in hibernate.properties in classpath. But I want them to come from an external file. I couldn't find a way in hibernate to change the path of default hibernate.properties file.
Please help.
[EDIT]
The method in java which generates sessionFactory object
public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
// Create the session factory from hibernate.cfg.xml
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder =
new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
return configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistryBuilder.build());
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}

Programmatically, you can load XML and properties like this:
public class MyHibernate {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
try {
URL r1 = MyHibernate.class.getResource("/hibernate.cfg.xml");
Configuration c = new Configuration().configure(r1);
try {
InputStream is = MyHibernate.class.getResourceAsStream("/hibernate.properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(is);
c.addProperties(props);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Error reading properties", e);
}
return c.buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
LOG.error("Error creating SessionFactory", ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}
Through Spring
You can use a PropertiesFactoryBean to read-in the properties from your file and configure your LocalSessionFactoryBean:
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
<property name="location">path-to-properties-file</property>
</bean>
</property>
...
</bean>
Hope it be useful.

Receiving org.hibernate.ResourceClosedException "This TransactionCoordinator has been closed"

I have a servlet, running on Tomcat 6, that uses Hibernate 4.1.6 and c3p0 0.9.1.2, and I am getting too much org.hibernate.ResourceClosedException, with the message "This TransactionCoordinator has been closed".
I've already checked that beginTransaction() and rollback() or commit() are done before the thread is reused by another call.
At hibernate.cfg.xml, I have
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://host/database</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">username</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.zeroDateTimeBehavior">convertToNull</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">20</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">1800</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">50</property>
<!-- mappings start here -->
...
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
and I am using a HibernateUtil.java to create a static sessionFactory for my application and I use it to control my transactions:
public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
try {
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure();
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
return sessionFactory;
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
public static void shutdown() {
getSessionFactory().close();
}
public static void beginTransaction() {
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
}
public static void commit() {
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().getTransaction().commit();
}
public static void rollback() {
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().getTransaction().rollback();
}
}
When I start using the database in a servlet, my code is basically this:
try {
HibernateUtil.beginTransaction();
// do stuffs
HibernateUtil.commit();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
HibernateUtil.rollback();
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
HibernateUtil.rollback();
throw e;
}
Where am I doing wrong?

I have closed a session after completing transaction and in the new session i have used the object of previous session, this caused me an 'Transaction Coordinator has been closed'
I have edited the code to use new session object, now the error is resolved

Hibernate : closing the session factory does not close the c3p0 connection pool

I recently started using hibernate along with c3p0 as the ORM in my application. However, when I close the session factory, the connection pool does not close itself! This is the one and only place in my application where I do anything with a session.
StatelessSession session = null;
Transaction transaction = null;
try {
session = sessionFactory.openStatelessSession();
transaction = session.beginTransaction();
List<Thingy> list = session.getNamedQuery("getAvailableThingy").list();
transaction.commit();
return list;
} catch (Exception error) {
if (transaction != null) {
transaction.rollback();
}
throw error;
} finally {
if (session != null) {
session.close();
}
}
This is my hibernate.cfg.xml configuration file
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
<property name="javax.persistence.validation.mode">none</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.release_mode">after_transaction</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.minPoolSize">1</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.maxPoolSize">2</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.acquireIncrement">1</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.initialPoolSize">1</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">30</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.maxIdleTimeExcessConnections">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod">300</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Note that the reason for the very short idle connection it that its the only way I found yet to make my integration tests to pass. They open and close the session factory a lot and thus I always run out of connections. As we are at the beginning of the project, I guess it's not a very sustainable strategy in the long run.
An "interesting" thing to note is that despite the fact that I set the initial connection pool to one, c3p0 still try to open two connection on start. My guess is that there is some kind of hidden session somewhere that don't get closed (but where? beat me).
So how can I get that annoying connection pool to close itself up?

Hibernate version : 4.1.10.Final
C3p0 version : 0.9.1.2

I had the same issue and successfully used the work-around offered in this bug report:
private void closeSessionFactory(SessionFactory factory) {
if(factory instanceof SessionFactoryImpl) {
SessionFactoryImpl sf = (SessionFactoryImpl)factory;
ConnectionProvider conn = sf.getConnectionProvider();
if(conn instanceof C3P0ConnectionProvider) {
((C3P0ConnectionProvider)conn).close();
}
}
factory.close();
}
You have to reference the hibernate-c3p0-4.x.x jar.

I had the same issue and successfully used the ehnanced (January 2014) work-around offered in this bug report:

hibernate main method call

I'm very new to Hibernate and just wanted to query the initial basics.
I've created my Hibernate bean as such...
package com.behaviour.chapter1;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
#Entity
public class User {
private int userId;
private String firstName;
#Id
public int getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setUserId(int userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
}
I've configured my hibernate.cfg.xml and db connection there. My question is simply, how do I actually call this from a main method and use it in Hibernate3.6.6? I was following a tutorial online but it was for Hibernate3.2 and it seems to be a bit different. If anyone could show me just a really simple main method calling this bean, creating a new user (that would create a user in this table) it would be greatly appreciated. Also - if anyone has any good Hibernate tutorial links that would be great :)
Thanks,

There are several ways of doing this, it is a matter of design choice, a basic way to achieve this will be to create the session factory from hibernate.cfg.xml file. Make sure the file can be located at your classpath.
And using the class below, create a Session Factory object which is then used to open up new Session's
public class HibernateUtil
{
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
static
{
try
{
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
}
catch (Throwable ex)
{
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory()
{
return sessionFactory;
}
}
Now to create a new user, do:
public class DaoFactory
{
public void create(Object obj)throws Exception
{
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(obj);
session.getTransaction().commit();
}
}
Main
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
User user = new User();
user.setFirstName("david99world");
DaoFactory factory = new DaoFactory();
factory.create(user);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}
EDIT
Your hibernate.cfg.xml should look something like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test</property>
<property name="connection.username">root</property>
<property name="connection.password">root</property>
<!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<!-- Disable the second-level cache -->
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>
<!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">none</property>
<mapping class="com.behaviour.chapter1.User"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I'm assuming you've set up your persistence.xml already. If so, you can use the following Java code. You'll have to substitute the "..." with your JDBC setup data and persistence unit.
private static final String PERSISTENCE_UNIT = "...";
final Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.driver", "...");
properties.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.url", "...");
properties.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.user", "...");
properties.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.password", "...");
final EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(PERSISTENCE_UNIT, properties);
final EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
User user = new User();
user.setUserID(0);
user.setFirstName("David");
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.persist(user);
em.getTransaction().commit();

Do you need a Session object to access the persistence unit. These objects are provided by SessionFactory objects.
Check the Hibernate reference guide.
