## org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support
Class HibernateDaoSupport

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.dao.support.DaoSupport
          org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.HibernateDaoSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  InitializingBean

    public abstract class HibernateDaoSupport

extends DaoSupport

Convenient super class for Hibernate-based data access objects.

Requires a `SessionFactory` to be set, providing a `HibernateTemplate` based on it to subclasses through the `getHibernateTemplate()` method. Can alternatively be initialized directly with a HibernateTemplate, in order to reuse the latter's settings such as the SessionFactory, exception translator, flush mode, etc.

This base class is mainly intended for HibernateTemplate usage but can also be used when working with a Hibernate Session directly, for example when relying on transactional Sessions. Convenience `getSession()` and `releaseSession(org.hibernate.Session)` methods are provided for that usage style.

This class will create its own HibernateTemplate instance if a SessionFactory is passed in. The "allowCreate" flag on that HibernateTemplate will be "true" by default. A custom HibernateTemplate instance can be used through overriding `createHibernateTemplate(org.hibernate.SessionFactory)`.

Constructor Detail

### HibernateDaoSupport

    public HibernateDaoSupport()

Method Detail

### setSessionFactory

    public final void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory)

  Set the Hibernate SessionFactory to be used by this DAO. Will automatically create a HibernateTemplate for the given SessionFactory.

  See Also:
    `createHibernateTemplate(org.hibernate.SessionFactory)`, `setHibernateTemplate(org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate)`

### createHibernateTemplate

    protected HibernateTemplate createHibernateTemplate(SessionFactory sessionFactory)

  Create a HibernateTemplate for the given SessionFactory. Only invoked if populating the DAO with a SessionFactory reference!

  Can be overridden in subclasses to provide a HibernateTemplate instance with different configuration, or a custom HibernateTemplate subclass.

  Parameters:
    `sessionFactory` - the Hibernate SessionFactory to create a HibernateTemplate for
  Returns:
    the new HibernateTemplate instance
  See Also:
    `setSessionFactory(org.hibernate.SessionFactory)`

### getSessionFactory

    public final SessionFactory getSessionFactory()

  Return the Hibernate SessionFactory used by this DAO.

### setHibernateTemplate

    public final void setHibernateTemplate(HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate)

  Set the HibernateTemplate for this DAO explicitly, as an alternative to specifying a SessionFactory.

  See Also:
    `setSessionFactory(org.hibernate.SessionFactory)`

### getHibernateTemplate

    public final HibernateTemplate getHibernateTemplate()

  Return the HibernateTemplate for this DAO, pre-initialized with the SessionFactory or set explicitly.

  Note: The returned HibernateTemplate is a shared instance. You may introspect its configuration, but not modify the configuration (other than from within an `DaoSupport.initDao()` implementation). Consider creating a custom HibernateTemplate instance via `new HibernateTemplate(getSessionFactory())`, in which case you're allowed to customize the settings on the resulting instance.

### checkDaoConfig

    protected final void checkDaoConfig()

  Description copied from class: `DaoSupport`
  Abstract subclasses must override this to check their configuration.

  Implementors should be marked as `final`

  Specified by:
    `checkDaoConfig` in class `DaoSupport`

### getSession

    protected final Session getSession()
                                throws DataAccessResourceFailureException,
                                       IllegalStateException

  Obtain a Hibernate Session, either from the current transaction or a new one. The latter is only allowed if the `"allowCreate"` setting of this bean's `HibernateTemplate` is "true".

  Note that this is not meant to be invoked from HibernateTemplate code but rather just in plain Hibernate code. Either rely on a thread-bound Session or use it in combination with `releaseSession(org.hibernate.Session)`.

  In general, it is recommended to use HibernateTemplate, either with the provided convenience operations or with a custom HibernateCallback that provides you with a Session to work on. HibernateTemplate will care for all resource management and for proper exception conversion.

  Returns:
    the Hibernate Session
  Throws:
    `DataAccessResourceFailureException` - if the Session couldn't be created
    `IllegalStateException` - if no thread-bound Session found and allowCreate=false
  See Also:
    `SessionFactoryUtils.getSession(SessionFactory, boolean)`

### getSession

    protected final Session getSession(boolean allowCreate)
                                throws DataAccessResourceFailureException,
                                       IllegalStateException

  Obtain a Hibernate Session, either from the current transaction or a new one. The latter is only allowed if "allowCreate" is true.

  Note that this is not meant to be invoked from HibernateTemplate code but rather just in plain Hibernate code. Either rely on a thread-bound Session or use it in combination with `releaseSession(org.hibernate.Session)`.

  In general, it is recommended to use `HibernateTemplate`, either with the provided convenience operations or with a custom `HibernateCallback` that provides you with a Session to work on. HibernateTemplate will care for all resource management and for proper exception conversion.

  Parameters:
    `allowCreate` - if a non-transactional Session should be created when no transactional Session can be found for the current thread
  Returns:
    the Hibernate Session
  Throws:
    `DataAccessResourceFailureException` - if the Session couldn't be created
    `IllegalStateException` - if no thread-bound Session found and allowCreate=false
  See Also:
    `SessionFactoryUtils.getSession(SessionFactory, boolean)`

### convertHibernateAccessException

    protected final DataAccessException convertHibernateAccessException(HibernateException ex)

  Convert the given HibernateException to an appropriate exception from the `org.springframework.dao` hierarchy. Will automatically detect wrapped SQLExceptions and convert them accordingly.

  Delegates to the `HibernateAccessor.convertHibernateAccessException(org.hibernate.HibernateException)` method of this DAO's HibernateTemplate.

  Typically used in plain Hibernate code, in combination with `getSession()` and `releaseSession(org.hibernate.Session)`.

  Parameters:
    `ex` - HibernateException that occured
  Returns:
    the corresponding DataAccessException instance
  See Also:
    `SessionFactoryUtils.convertHibernateAccessException(org.hibernate.HibernateException)`

### releaseSession

    protected final void releaseSession(Session session)

  Close the given Hibernate Session, created via this DAO's SessionFactory, if it isn't bound to the thread (i.e. isn't a transactional Session).

  Typically used in plain Hibernate code, in combination with `getSession()` and `convertHibernateAccessException(org.hibernate.HibernateException)`.

  Parameters:
    `session` - the Session to close
  See Also:
    `SessionFactoryUtils.releaseSession(org.hibernate.Session, org.hibernate.SessionFactory)`
