Hibernate Exception : No Session found for current thread

Question

I have an application which I am developing Spring with Hibernate. Every thing went fine but when I try to test my transactions with the hibernate classes, it throwing an error saying "org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread". I can not find the error with me. Help would be really appreciated.

My main class :

 public static void main(String[] args) {

        Patient sac = new Patient();
        sac.setPatient_Id("M2314");
        sac.setPatient_Age(23);
        sac.setPatient_Name("Sac");
        sac.setPatient_Address("SGTY NY");


        System.out.println("load context");
        ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml");

        PatientService patientService = (PatientService) context.getBean("patientService");
        patientService.persistPatient(sac);

        context.close();
    }

Part of serviceImpl :

@Service("patientService")
public class PatientServiceImpl implements PatientService{

    @Autowired
    PatientDAO patientdao;

    @Override
    @Transactional
    public void persistPatient(Patient patient) {
        patientdao.persistPatient(patient);

    }

Part of DAO class :

@Repository("patientdao")
public class PatientDAOImpl implements PatientDAO{

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;


    @Override
    @Transactional
    public void persistPatient(Patient patient) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().persist(patient);

    }

My servlet-context.xml

Answer 1

In this case, I am not sure if you have enabled annotation-driven transaction management, as you have not provided the code for SpringBean.xml file.

You need to add this tag <tx:annotation-driven/> tag in your servlet-context.xml

In there also make sure to make it point to your transaction manager as follows

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>

Rest of your code looks fine and this error should go away with above changes.
