Subject: RE: Where to store DB connection in JSF session
Aaron,
We are using the SpringFramework to help with a lot of stuff like this. We have installed a servlet filter that starts the hibernate session at the beginning of the request and ends it at the end of the request. This has been a huge boon for us in allowing lazy loading of our objects.
<filter> <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name> <filter-class> org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter </filter-class> </filter>
<filter-mapping> <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>
There are a good number of other benefits to integrating in Spring with JSF and Hibernate. It uses a very similar idea of dependency injection, and provides a JSF Variable Resolver that will look within the Spring managed beans when looking for beans via JSF EL. We have all of our Hibernate/Database configuration managed by Spring.

Up to today I have been storing my Hibernate db connection in a session bean called DBConn, but I am finding that it is timing out quite often even though I have database connection pooling setup through Tomcat JNDI (using MySQL as DB).
What I am wondering is what practices others use in storing their DB connection in JSF apps. My thought is to grab a new connection at each request vs trying to store it in the FacesContext. I was going to do this by utilizing phase listeners - open my Hibernate session in the "Restore View" phase and close the session in the "Render Response"
phase. This way there is no way I will ever get a timed out DB connection is what I am thinking.
What are other's thoughts on this, and what are others doing for a scalable DB connection mechanism?
TIA, Aaron Bartell
