Class SpringSessionContext

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.SpringSessionContext

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, org.hibernate.context.CurrentSessionContext

    public class SpringSessionContext

extends Object
implements org.hibernate.context.CurrentSessionContext

Implementation of Hibernate 3.1's CurrentSessionContext interface that delegates to Spring's SessionFactoryUtils for providing a Spring-managed current Session.

Used by Spring's `LocalSessionFactoryBean` when told to expose a transaction-aware SessionFactory. This is the default as of Spring 2.5.

This CurrentSessionContext implementation can also be specified in custom SessionFactory setup through the "hibernate.current_session_context_class" property, with the fully qualified name of this class as value.
