In Spring 3 you can use the tag to use the OpenSessionInViewInterceptor. There is an example on my blog: http://www.pieno.be/content/2010/opensessioninviewinterceptor-example-spring-3-web-mvc

@David Newcomb – The post isn’t really about how to set mappings. But you’ll want something like

installController

which maps a request URI to a controller. Here are some examples…

Also urlMapping doesn’t work if you are using annotations.
If you are using annotations you should probably go for the OpenSessionInViewFilter otherwise there is a rats nest of other support classes you need. Just spent the day reading all about it and I have lost the will to live

Your xml for urlMapping is incomplete! No value is set for:
property name=”mappings”
and the “property” is not closed. What is it supposed to be?

You should read Spring in Seam, Part 3 (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2008/jw-05-spring-seam3.html) and chapters 8 and 9 of Seam in Action to discover why this Spring filter/interceptor is essential a huge *hack*. The persistence manager (Hibernate Session/JPA EntityManager) was designed to be extended across a series of requests, not be relegated to a single request or worse service layer call. LazyInitializationExceptions happen because the persistence manager is scoped incorrectly.

Excellent example!

For those of you using the Persistence API, there is also an EntityManager version:

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

Hi Mike,
Kudos on the great explanations and examples.

I am a newbie to Spring (as well as Java ). 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.
