Cannot scroll ScrollableResults outside of a transaction -------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7299 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7299 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 4.1.2 Reporter: Ittay Dror I have a repository class who is transactional but used by other classes that are not. One of its methods returns a ScrollableResults object. In 3.6.9 I was able to work with it (outside of the transaction), but in 4.1.2 I get an exception. Why should scrolling a query require a transaction? org.hibernate.HibernateException: proxy handle is no longer valid at org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.internal.proxy.AbstractProxyHandler.errorIfInvalid(AbstractProxyHandler.java:63) ~[hibernate-core-4.1.2.jar:4.1.2] at org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.internal.proxy.AbstractResultSetProxyHandler.continueInvocation(AbstractResultSetProxyHandler.java:84) ~[hibernate-core-4.1.2.jar:4.1.2] at org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.internal.proxy.AbstractProxyHandler.invoke(AbstractProxyHandler.java:81) ~[hibernate-core-4.1.2.jar:4.1.2] at $Proxy99.next(Unknown Source) ~[na:na] at org.hibernate.internal.ScrollableResultsImpl.next(ScrollableResultsImpl.java:116) ~[hibernate-core-4.1.2.jar:4.1.2] at com.alu.dal.util.HibernateScrollableIterator.advance(HibernateScrollableIterator.java:64) ~[classes/:na] at com.alu.dal.util.HibernateScrollableIterator.hasNext(HibernateScrollableIterator.java:41) ~[classes/:na] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
