[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4808) SessionImpl.initializeCollection() does not release JDBC connection (if outside of a transaction)

SessionImpl.initializeCollection() does not release JDBC connection (if outside of a transaction) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4808 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-4808 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.7, 3.3.2 Reporter: Martin Renner Priority: Critical Attachments: Test.java With {{ConnectionReleaseMode.AFTER_TRANSACTION}} (the default), Hibernate does not release the JDBC connection when resolving a lazily loaded collection, if this happens *outside* of an active transaction. First, I will describe, what happens if Hibernate executes a query outside of a transaction. Then I will describe how lazy collection loading behaves differently. When the method {{list}} of a query ({{QueryImpl.java}}) is getting called, Hibernate delegates to {{SessionImpl.list()}}. After having loaded the list, {{SessionImpl.list()}} calls {{SessionImpl.afterOperation()}}, which calls {{jdbcContext.afterNontransactionalQuery()}} (as there is no active transaction). This leads to {{ConnectionManager.afterTransaction()}} which releases the JDBC connection. This is exactly what I expect to happen. Now to the lazily loaded collection: {{Hibernate.initialize(collection)}} and {{person.getPets().size()}} both end up in {{SessionImpl.initializeCollection()}}. This call gets dispatched down to {{Loader.doQueryAndInitializeNonLazyCollections()}} and {{Loader.doQuery()}}. The important fact is, that {{ConnectionManager.afterTransaction()}} never gets called (like in the query-example above). The result is, that the JDBC connection is not released. IMHO resolving of a lazily loaded collection should behave like executing a query. {{SessionImpl.initializeCollection()}} should call {{SessionImpl.afterOperation()}} in the same way as {{SessionImpl.list()}} is doing this. I will attach a small demo application which shows the difference (concerning {{ConnectionManager}}) between queries and collections.
