OpenSessionInView Interceptor doesn't work with Spring Webflow

[alejandrogarciaseco]

Great, it worked!!

I have defined the /mvc/* prefix for all my controllers and the flows still reside on /* (as I now, there is no way for setting a custom prefix for flows as you suggested).

The SWF configuration would be like this:

	<!-- Creates a flow executor in Spring, responsible for creating and executing flows -->
	<flow:flow-executor id="flowExecutor" flow-registry="flowRegistry">
		<flow:flow-execution-listeners>
			<flow:listener ref="jpaFlowExecutionListener" />
		</flow:flow-execution-listeners>
	</flow:flow-executor>
	
	<!-- Listener for the JPA execution listener -->
	<bean id="jpaFlowExecutionListener" class="org.springframework.webflow.persistence.JpaFlowExecutionListener">
	    <constructor-arg ref="entityManagerFactory" />
	    <constructor-arg ref="transactionManager" />
	</bean>
	
	<!-- Load flow definitions and make them available to the flow executor -->
	<flow:flow-registry id="flowRegistry">
		<flow:flow-location id="process-flow" path="/process/flows/process-flow.xml" />
		<flow:flow-location id="phase1-flow" path="/process/flows/phase1/phase1-flow.xml" />
	</flow:flow-registry>
	
	<!-- The FlowHandlerMapping helps DispatcherServlet to knowing that it should send flow requests to Spring Web Flow -->
	<bean class="org.springframework.webflow.mvc.servlet.FlowHandlerMapping">
		<property name="flowRegistry" ref="flowRegistry" />
	</bean>
	
	<!-- The FlowHandlerAdapter is equivalent to a Spring MVC controller in that it handles requests coming in for a flow and processes those requests -->
	<bean class="org.springframework.webflow.mvc.servlet.FlowHandlerAdapter">
		<property name="flowExecutor" ref="flowExecutor" />
	</bean>

And the OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter configuration would be like this:

	<filter>
		<filter-name>oemInViewFilter</filter-name>
		<filter-class>org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-class>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>entityManagerFactoryBeanName</param-name>
			<param-value>entityManagerFactory</param-value>
		</init-param>
	</filter>
	
	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>oemInViewFilter</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>/mvc/*</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>

I hope it helps anybody...

At the same time, though it works I don't like the solution at all because I don't like to use such pattern for controller's URLs, in my opinion is a little bit ugly (yes, I am too meticolous ). Would be nice to have a single point for configuring open session in view behaviour both for MVC and SWF, and I don't know if such configuration option exists...

Anyway thousand of thanks emil1, if I can't find my "perfect solution" I will do it your way .

Regards and have a nice weekend.
