Is Session a thread-safe object in Hibernate?
In Hibernate, the Session
object is not thread-safe. Each Session
instance is designed to be used by a single thread at a time. This means that you should not share a Session
instance between multiple threads. Doing so can lead to unpredictable behavior, data corruption, and exceptions.
To ensure thread safety, you should create a new Session
for each unit of work (e.g., a single transaction or a single request in a web application). This approach allows each thread to have its own Session
instance, which can safely manage its own state and transactions.
If you need to manage multiple threads, consider using a SessionFactory
, which is thread-safe and can be shared across threads. The SessionFactory
is responsible for creating Session
instances, and you can obtain a new Session
from it whenever needed.
In summary:
Session
instances.
