org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread
I’m creating a little project at home to record some data and I’m using Spring & Hibernate. This problem took me a couple of hours to work out, so I thought I’d post my solution as it wasn’t listed in the 20 or so pages I visited to fix the problem.
So, you’ve just set up a DAO and wired the session factory, data source and transaction manager up, but your junit test is still reporting:
org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread
jdbc.properties
jdbc.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb
jdbc.username=sa
jdbc.password=

unit test
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:aCtx-base.xml", "classpath:aCtx-repository.xml", "classpath:aCtx-dao.xml" })
@TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)
public class ReadingDaoTest extends AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests {
@Autowired
private ReadingDao dao;
@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
@Test
public void readingsCount() {
assertEquals(0, dao.totalReadings());
}
@Test
public void saveReading() {
assertEquals(0, dao.totalReadings());
Reading reading = new ReadingImpl(BigInteger.valueOf(123));
dao.addReading(reading);
assertEquals(1, dao.totalReadings());
}
}
What can possibly be wrong? Well as I say, I read solution after solution and still nothing fixed my problem, until I took another look at my unit test and realised I should be extending AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests!
Problem sorted – hope this helps someone else
