hibernate.connection.release_mode

In this section, you will learn about hibernate configuration parameter hibernate.connection.release_mode.

Prior to Hibernate 3.x , JDBC connection management means that session gets the connection when first time it requires it and this session should maintain this connection until the session was closed.

After the introduction of Hibernate 3.x, the new feature introduced is connection release modes which tells a session how to deal with its JDBC connections.

The different release modes which is denoted by enumerated values of org.hibernate.ConnectionReleaseMode are given below :

• ON_CLOSE  
  This release mode has legacy behavior as :  The session gets the connection when first time it requires it and this session should maintain this connection until the session was closed. 
  
  
• AFTER_TRANSACTION 
  It releases the connection after org.hibernate.Transaction commit or rollback.
  
  
• AFTER_STATEMENT
  This is also known as aggressive release. After execution of every statement, it releases connection. But it skipped the connection releasing. if the resources related to session are still open. One of the example of this situation is when you use org.hibernate.ScrollableResults.
  
  

Which release mode should be used can be set through configuration parameter hibernate.connection.release_mode. The possible value of this parameter and related connection mode is given below :

• auto :  It is the default value. It releases the value according to the value returned by the method org.hibernate.transaction.TransactionFactory.getDefaultReleaseMode(). If you are using JTATransactionFactory, it returns  ConnectionReleaseMode.AFTER_STATEMENT.
  
  
• on_close : It uses ConnectionReleaseMode.ON_CLOSE. But its use is not recommended since it has the legacy behavior.         
  
  
• after_transaction : It uses ConnectionReleaseMode.AFTER_TRANSACTION. It is strongly recommended that this setting should not be use in JTA environments.
  
  
• after_statement : It uses the ConnectionReleaseMode.AFTER_STATEMENT. It is recommended to check the whether it supports this setting( supportsAggressiveRelease() ). If not, the release mode is reset to ConnectionReleaseMode.AFTER_TRANSACTION.

EXAMPLE

There are two ways of setting configuration parameter :

XML deployment descriptor : hibernate.cfg.xml

A sample configuration file hibernate.cfg.xml is given below :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://192.168.10.13:3306/anky</property>
<property name="connection.username">root</property>
<property name="connection.password">root</property>

<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.release_mode">auto</property> 

<mapping class="net.roseindia.WorkerDetail"/>
<mapping class="net.roseindia.Worker"/>

</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
