How to update records after session close will be explained here.

Annotation

@org.hibernate.annotations.Entity(selectBeforeUpdate=true)

This makes sure that before update query hibernate should run select query and if there are any changes in update then run the update query else don’t run.

HibernateTest.java

package org.yash.hibernate;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

import org.yash.dto.UserDetails;

public class HibernateTest {

                public static void main(String args[]) {

                               

                                SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure()

                                                                .buildSessionFactory();

                                Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();

                                session.beginTransaction();

                               

                                UserDetails user = (UserDetails)session.get(UserDetails.class, 1);

                               

                                session.getTransaction().commit();

                                session.close();

                               

                                /* update the user after session close */

                                user.setUserName("Updated Username after session close");

                               

                                session = sessionFactory.openSession();

                                session.beginTransaction();

                                session.update(user);

                                session.getTransaction().commit();

                                session.close();

                }

}
