I am having trouble getting Struts 2.x to implement validation and
hibernate using the HibernateSessionRequestFilter (the pattern
suggested on Hibernate.org). When the validation fails, Hibernate
will still update the object in the database when the HibernateFilter
closes the transaction. I get why this is happening, but I can't seem
to find anyone who has really figured out an *elegant* solution. Any
ideas?
public class HibernateSessionRequestFilter implements Filter {
static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(HibernateSessionRequestFilter.class);
private SessionFactory sf;
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request,
ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
try {
// This starts the Hibernate transaction
sf.getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
// Call the next filter (continue request processing)
chain.doFilter(request, response);
// Commit and cleanup
sf.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().commit(); <----
********* Data is written here no matter what ************
} catch (StaleObjectStateException staleEx) {
log.fatal("This interceptor does not implement optimistic
concurrency control!");
log.fatal("Your application will not work until you add
compensation actions!");
// Rollback, close everything, possibly compensate for any
permanent changes
// during the conversation, and finally restart business
conversation. Maybe
// give the user of the application a chance to merge some
of his work with
// fresh data... what you do here depends on your
applications design.
throw staleEx;
}
// This is a catch-all catch, define other Exceptions here
catch (Throwable ex) {
// Rollback only
ex.printStackTrace();
try {
if (sf.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().isActive()) {
log.fatal("Trying to rollback database transaction
after exception");
sf.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().rollback();
}
} catch (Throwable rbEx) {
log.fatal("Could not rollback transaction after exception!",
rbEx);
}
// Let others handle it... maybe another interceptor for exceptions?
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
log.trace("Initializing filter...");
log.trace("Obtaining SessionFactory from static HibernateUtil
singleton...");
sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
}
public void destroy() {}
}
