Hi,

I am new to EJB and hope someone could help me with this.

I am trying to use ejb3 stateless bean with hibernate 3.1.

In the stateless bean I get a SessionFactory by

SessionFactory sf = (SessionFactory) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/hibernate/SessionFactory");

and from there I open a session:

Session session = sf.openSession();

Then I do some work using this session object. After than I close the session by:

session.close();

The problem is that this code can only read from the database. Insert/update/delete are not persisted to the database.

However, If I put the session.flush() before session.close(), all CRUD works. I have read some documentations that said it is not necessary to force the flush. Can someone tell me if I should or should not put the flush() everytime before I close the session?

BTW, I have set the persistence.properties with the following:

hibernate.transaction.flush_before_completion=true
hibernate.transaction.auto_close_session=true

thanks!
