hibernate session methods code example

Example 1: hibernate session management

Session session = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx = null;

try {
   tx = session.beginTransaction();
   // do some work
   ...
   tx.commit();
}

catch (Exception e) {
   if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
   e.printStackTrace(); 
} finally {
   session.close();
}

Example 2: hibernate session factory

protected void setUp() throws Exception {
	// A SessionFactory is set up once for an application!
	final StandardServiceRegistry registry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
			.configure() // configures settings from hibernate.cfg.xml
			.build();
	try {
		sessionFactory = new MetadataSources( registry ).buildMetadata().buildSessionFactory();
	}
	catch (Exception e) {
		// The registry would be destroyed by the SessionFactory, but we had trouble building the SessionFactory
		// so destroy it manually.
		StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.destroy( registry );
	}
}
