Spring Hibernate - Could not obtain transaction-synchronized Session for current thread

I created an application with spring + hibernate, but I always get this error. This is my first application with hibernate, I read some guides but I can not solve this problem. Where am I doing wrong?

This is the code of my application

You must enable the transaction support (<tx:annotation-driven> or @EnableTransactionManagement) and declare the transactionManager and it should work through the SessionFactory.

You must add @Transactional into your @Repository

With @Transactional in your @Repository Spring is able to apply transactional support into your repository.

Your Student class has no the @javax.persistence.* annotations how @Entity, I am assuming the Mapping Configuration for that class has been defined through XML.

I have had the same issue, but in a class that was not a part of the service layer. In my case, the transaction manager was simply obtained from the context by the getBean() method, and the class belonged to the view layer - my project utilizes OpenSessionInView technique.

The sessionFactory.getCurrentSession() method, has been causing the same exception as the author's. The solution for me was rather simple.

Session session;

try {
    session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
} catch (HibernateException e) {
    session = sessionFactory.openSession();
}

If the getCurrentSession() method fails, the openSession() should do the trick.

Add the annotation @Transactional of spring in the class service

In your xyz.DAOImpl.java

Do the following steps:

>//Step-1: Set session factory

@Resource(name="sessionFactory")
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sf)
{
	this.sessionFactory = sf;
}

---

>//Step-2: Try to get the current session, and catch the HibernateException exception.

---

>//Step-3: If there are any HibernateException exception, then true to get openSession.

try 
{
	//Step-2: Implementation
    session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
} 
catch (HibernateException e) 
{
	//Step-3: Implementation
    session = sessionFactory.openSession();
}

	

I had this error too because in the file where I used @Transactional annotation, I was importing the wrong class

import javax.transaction.Transactional; 

Instead of javax, use

import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional; 

You need to allow transaction to your DAO method. Add,

@Transactional(readOnly = true, propagation=Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED)

over your dao methods. And @Transactional should be from the package:

org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional

I added these configuration in web.xml and it works well for me!

<filter>
    <filter-name>OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>sessionFactoryBeanName</param-name>
        <param-value>sessionFactory</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>flushMode</param-name>
        <param-value>AUTO</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Additionally, the most ranked answer give me clues to prevent application from panic at the first run.

My configuration was like this. I had a QuartzJob , a Service Bean , and Dao . as usual it was configured with LocalSessionFactoryBean (for hibernate) , and SchedulerFactoryBean for Quartz framework. while writing the Quartz job , I by mistake annotated it with @Service , I should not have done that because I was using another strategy to wire the QuartzBean using AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory extending SpringBeanJobFactory.

So what actually was happening is that due to Quartz Autowire , TX was getting injected to the Job Bean and at the same time Tx Context was set by virtue of @Service annotation and hence the TX was falling out of sync !!

I hope it help to those for whom above solutions really didn't solved the issue. I was using Spring 4.2.5 and Hibernate 4.0.1 ,

I see that in this thread there is a unnecessary suggestion to add @Transactional annotation to the DAO(@Repository) , that is a useless suggestion cause @Repository has all what it needs to have don't have to specially set that @transactional on DAOs , as the DAOs are called from the services which have already being injected by @Trasancational . I hope this might be helpful people who are using Quartz , Spring and Hibernate together.

@Transactional =javax.transaction.Transactional. Put it just beside @Repository.

My solution was (using Spring) putting the method that fails inside another method that creates and commits the transaction.

To do that I first injected the following:

@Autowired
private PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager;

And finally did this:

public void newMethod() {
    DefaultTransactionDefinition definition = new DefaultTransactionDefinition();
    TransactionStatus transaction = transactionManager.getTransaction(definition);
	
    oldMethod();
    
    transactionManager.commit(transaction);
}

I encountered the same problem and finally found out that the <tx:annotaion-driven /> was not defined within the [dispatcher]-servlet.xml where component-scan element enabled @service annotated class.

Simply put <tx:annotaion-driven /> with component-scan element together, the problem disappeared.

My similar issue got fixed with below 2 approaches.

1. Through manually handling transactions:

   Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession(); Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction(); UserInfo user = (UserInfo) session.get(UserInfo.class, 1); tx.commit();

2. Tell Spring to open and manage transactions for you in your web.xml filters and Ensure to use @Repository @Transactional:

   hibernateFilter org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter sessionFactory session.factory hibernateFilter /*

Add transaction-manager to your <annotation-driven/> in spring-servlet.xml:

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="yourTransactionBeanID"/>

Check your dao class. It must be like this:

Session session = getCurrentSession();
Query query = session.createQuery(GET_ALL);

And annotations:

@Transactional
@Repository

In this class above @Repository just placed one more annotation @Transactional it will work. If it works reply back(Y/N):

@Repository
@Transactional
public class StudentDAOImpl implements StudentDAO

Thanks for comment of mannedear. I use springmvc and in my case I have to use as

@Repository
@Transactional
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class UserDao {
...
}

and I also add spring-context to pom.xml and it works

I had the same issue. I resolved it doing the following:

1. Add the this line to the dispatcher-servlet file:

> xml > <tx:annotation-driven/> >

Check above <beans> section in the same file. These two lines must be present:

> xml > xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" > xsi:schemaLocation= "http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd" >

2. Also make sure you added @Repository and @Transactional where you are using sessionFactory.

> > @Repository > @Transactional > public class ItemDaoImpl implements ItemDao { > @Autowired > private SessionFactory sessionFactory; >

My Database table has mismatch column name with the Java Object (@Entity) which leads to throw the above exception.

By updating the table with appropriate column name resolves this issue.

In my case the problem was a Controller trying to access directly to a DAO with @Repository. Adding an @Service layer on top of the @Repository fixed the problem
