Using HibernateTemplate inside EJB

[PavanPL KalyanK]

Hello please help me in this :

I am using Spring , EJB and Hibernate as ORM in my Application .(No JPA , there is an Hibernate dependency)

Inside my EJB

@Stateless
public class HelloBean implements Hello 

{

 HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;
    
public void setHibernateTemplate (HibernateTemplate ht) 
{
        hibernateTemplate = ht;
}
  

  @TransactionAttribute(SUPPORTS)
  public void insert(User)
  {
hibernateTemplate.doXXX();
  }
}

Can i use HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate inside my EJB directly (I have configured <bean id="hibernateTemplate"> inside the applicationcontext.xml file ??

Please reply

Yes you can. But if you want your EJB to have access to your ApplicationContext you will have to do some work.

Personally, I don't use the HibernateTemplate anywhere, I just inject my SessionFactory into my DAO/Repositories. As opposed to the JdbcTemplate, the HibernateTemplate just doesn't give me anything extra that I need. I can already add one simple configuration in my xml to convert all the HibernateExceptions to Spring database exceptions, if I want that. It used to be that HibernateExceptions were checked exceptions, but they aren't anymore. My 2 cents.
