I was trying to change some entries after the proposed changes and found out, that the write operations are not allowed with the default session setting for the openViewInSession filter.
After searching for a solution I´ve found that:

import org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter;
import org.hibernate.*;
import org.springframework.dao.*;

public class SessionFilter extends OpenSessionInViewFilter {
/*
* The default mode is FlushMode.NEVER
*
* @see org.springframework.orm.hibernate.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter#getSession(net.sf.hibernate.SessionFactory)
*/
protected Session getSession(SessionFactory sessionFactory)
throws DataAccessResourceFailureException {
Session session = super.getSession(sessionFactory);
session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.COMMIT);
return session;
}

/**
* we do an explicit flush here just in case we do not have an automated flush
*/
protected void closeSession(Session session, SessionFactory factory) {
session.flush();
super.closeSession(session, factory);
}
}

Now it works as wished!

org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor

Thanks for your example, Chris

PS I would put an example - but seems the comments box does not allow it

I am a newbie to Spring (as well as Java :P). I have a question regarding OpenSessionInViewInterceptor/ Filter.

I have a Spring app that only selective controllers requires open sessions. Can I selectively “hook-up” the interceptor to those controllers?

Thanks a lot.

Glad I could help. Cheers.
