Suppose a field has a validator, and the field is made invalid (age <
0). When flushing, the validator runs, and throws an exception. The
exception handling section
(<
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html_single/#transac
tions-demarcation-exceptions>) states that if any method throws an
exception, the session must be closed.
So, what to do if session-per-conversation is used? If hibernate
validation is used, then flush of invalid data corrupts the session -
the application then needs to ask the user to start over, or else build
complex recovery logic (new session, copy data to new session) -
effectively reducing session-per-conversation to
session-per-transaction, since the application needs to be able to
replay transactions that fail due to validation.
How does hibernate validation interact with extended sessions?
