[Springframework-developer] Retrying transactions with OpenSessionInViewFilter

[Chris R. <chr...@gm...>]

Did anyone have any comments the issue I raised in this post:
http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=3D6311&highlight=3D

The Hibernate documentation recommends closing the Session after a
HibernateException is thrown. That was also the recommendation of
someone on the Hibernate team:
http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=3D2246627#2246627

However, I noticed that HibernateTransactionManager calls
Session.clear() with the intent to reset the Session to a known state
so that it can be reused by another transaction. This seems to be at
odds with the Hibernate documentation unless the goal was to only
reuse a Session when a non-HibernateException was thrown.

Does anyone have any comments on how to retry transactions when using
OpenSessionInViewFilter?
