Is it possible to use OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor with spring-ws?

[alex.arica]

Hi,

First of all congratulation for spring-ws which increased my productivity a lot.

I use Hibernate implementation of JPA. My application need to keep the session open when Hibernate uses the lazy loading mode. I carefully read the Spring documentation, there is a solution which consist to pass an instance of 'OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor' in the 'SimpleUrlHandlerMapping' bean, as following:

<bean id ="openEntityManagerInViewInterceptor" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEnt ityManagerInViewInterceptor">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Sim pleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<list><ref bean="openEntityManagerInViewInterceptor"/></list>
</property>
</bean>

However in the context file of my web service I do not use 'SimpleUrlHandlerMapping'. I do not need this as I use 'PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping'.

How can I keep the hibernate session open for a thread with spring-ws?

Please find below an extract of the context file:

...

<!-- It detects and handles the mappings with @PayloadRoot annotations in the Endpoints -->
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapp ing.PayloadRootAnnotationMethodEndpointMapping"/>

<!-- We use JAXB as Object/XML mapper (OXM) -->
<bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshalle r">
<property name="contextPath" value="com.mycompany.ws.user.ws.binding"/>
</bean>

<!-- It converts the incoming XML messages to marshalled objects used as parameters and return value -->
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.adap ter.GenericMarshallingMethodEndpointAdapter">
<constructor-arg ref="marshaller"/>
</bean>

<bean id="identificationEndpoint" class="com.mycompany.ws.user.ws.IdentificationEndp oint"/>

<!-- Dynamic WSDL generation -->
<bean id="apiFontEnd" class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DynamicW sdl11Definition">
<property name="builder">
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder. XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder">
<property name="schema" value="/WEB-INF/classes/xsd/sUser_ApiFontEnd.xsd"/>
<property name="portTypeName" value="sUserApiFrontEnd"/>
<property name="locationUri" value="http://localhost:8080/sUser-1.0-SNAPSHOT/"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>

...

I use Spring-ws 1.5.0 M2.

Thanks for your help.
