Hibernate: No CurrentSessionContext configured

Question

I keep getting a :

HibernateException: No CurrentSessionContext configured!

in my code. The only information other searches that returned is that the culprit is:

<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

in my hibernate.cfg.xml. I do have that in my hibernate.cfg.xml file, and I am running this in Tomcat 6. Does anyone know other possible causes?

I believe you need to set your current_session_context_class to an actual class...I have my hibernate.cfg.xml configured for that as follows:

<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

The above code is used for a mySql database but i don't think it matters what type the database is for the above property

Hope this helps

`org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext` – bora.oren Mar 28 '11 at 14:25

@javaloper, it would be nice if you just said that there was a typo: "hibnerate" instead of "hibernate". I was wondering why you posted the same thing in your comment. – Jamol Jul 01 '11 at 10:02

Hibernate 4+ moved this class to: org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext as mentioned by Jacob below – bigleftie Oct 10 '13 at 23:58
In @atkeE2036's answer, "hibernate" is misspelled. Here's the correct spelling: org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext – Yuriy Nemtsov Apr 27 '10 at 21:47
I was trying to add this line to persistence.xml, but it was actually to hibernate.cfg.xml. This solved my issue. – George Sep 11 '15 at 13:34

Both of these work in Hibernate 4+:

<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

In earlier version of Hibernate it used org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext (as shown in the other answers).

In Hibernate 4.1.5 it is:

<property> name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

I am using Hibernate 4 on tomcat 7 and the below property (the one mentioned in the question) worked for me.

<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

var config = new Configuration().Configure(); // Read config from hibernate.cfg.xml
config.CurrentSessionContext<WebSessionContext>(); // <-- No CurrentSessionContext fixing
return config.BuildSessionFactory();
