Hi PMN, thanks for your suggestions, but I dont think that this would be the best way to handle it for several reasons: * Writing Java Code in a JSP is not recommended * Opening a new session and reattaching the objects in the JSP violates the MVC-pattern. * Performance will suffer a lot because you need additional selects for the reattachment Is there no way to span the transaction around the whole request? TXStart-->processAction-->...-->doView-->...-->(rendering JSP)-->TXEnd Is there no equivalent of an HibernateSessionRequestFilter (http://www.hibernate.org/43.html) for ServletApps in JBoss Portal?
