Class HibernateDaoSupport

public abstract class HibernateDaoSupport

implements InitializingBean

Convenient super class for Hibernate data access objects.

Requires a SessionFactory to be set, providing a HibernateTemplate based on it to subclasses. Can alternatively be initialized directly via a HibernateTemplate, to reuse the latter's settings like SessionFactory, flush mode, exception translator, etc.

This base class is mainly intended for HibernateTemplate usage but can also be used when working with SessionFactoryUtils directly, e.g. in combination with HibernateInterceptor-managed Sessions. Convenience getSession and closeSessionIfNecessary methods are provided for that usage.
