Planning to upgrade from hibernate 4.x to 5.x

[Santosh Kumar Nayak]

Hi All,

I am planning to upgrade from hibernate 4.x to 5.x versions

Currently am using :

org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager
org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean
org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateDaoSupport

I need to upgrade to

org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager
org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean
org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateDaoSupport

Any specific/stable version in 5.x which  I can use in my pom.xml ?

Make your POM upgradeable. For example:
       <dependency>            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>            <version>${org.hibernate.version}</version>            <scope>compile</scope>        </dependency>        <dependency>            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>            <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>            <version>${org.hibernate.version}</version>        </dependency>    <properties>        <org.hibernate.version>4.2.3.Final</org.hibernate.version>    </properties>

As you can see, I haven't updated in a while. Oh well.

Do this and you can switch versions just by changing the properties and doing a "mvn clean" and build. That way if you don't like a specific version you can easily change it without breaking the POM.

Am planning to use for pom.xml artifacts

<version>5.2.9.FINAL</version>

[Santosh Kumar Nayak]

Below is code snippet

finally {
if ( session !=null  && session.getFlushMode == FlushMode.MANUAL )
session.close();
}

During upgrade am getting this error
incomparable types : javax.persistence.FlushModeType and org.hibernate.FlushMode

Can anyone help on it ?

The javax.persistence package is JPA. Your logic uses "sessions", which is legacy Hibernate, not Hibernate JPA.
