What is HibernateTemplate class?
hibernate, java
Solution
Copied from Hibernate Interview Questions:
Hibernate Template
When Spring and Hibernate integration started, Spring ORM provided two helper classes – `HibernateDaoSupport` and `HibernateTemplate`. The reason to use them was to get the `Session` from Hibernate and get the benefit of Spring transaction management. However from Hibernate 3.0.1, we can use `SessionFactory getCurrentSession()` method to get the current session and use it to get the spring transaction management benefits. If you go through above examples, you will see how easy it is and that’s why we should not use these classes anymore.
One other benefit of HibernateTemplate was exception translation but that can be achieved easily by using `@Repository` annotation with service classes, shown in above spring mvc example. This is a trick question to judge your knowledge and whether you are aware of recent developments or not.
