I'm working on a project which is using Hibernate for persisting and Struts 2 for the view pattern.
My configuration files are:
web.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app>
//......
//.....
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- The defintion of the root Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Creates the spring Container shared by all servlet and filters -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<filter> <!-- Get spring to keep the session open for the whole request, so hibernate's lazy loads work -->
<filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
applicationContext.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans >
//.......

<property name="defaultDataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>

My problem is, I can't keep Hibernate session open in the view pattern of Struts 2, that means when I try to load some data, that are not already initialized with Hibernate (like collections for example), I get the org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException
, so after doing some research, I found that I must add this scope in web.xml
to keep the session open in the view pattern.
Scope:
<filter> <!-- Get spring to keep the session open for the whole request, so Hibernate's lazy loads work -->
<filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
But even with this, I still have the same problem, so can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've had similar problem some time ago, and to resolve this I used hibernate.enable_lazy_load_no_trans property instead of OpenSessionInView pattern. More informations about LazyInitializationException you can find here or here
