Keep Hibernate Initializer from Crashing Program
- by manyxcxi
I have a Java program using a basic Hibernate session factory. I had an issue with a hibernate hbm.xml mapping file and it crashed my program even though I had the getSessionFactory() call in a try catch
try
{
session = SessionFactoryUtil.getSessionFactory().openStatelessSession();
session.beginTransaction();
rh = getRunHistoryEntry(session);
if(rh == null)
{
throw new Exception("No run history information found in the database for run id " + runId_ + "!");
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
logger.error("Error initializing hibernate");
}
It still manages to break out of this try/catch and crash the main thread. How do I keep it from doing this? The main issue is I have a bunch of cleanup commands that NEED to be run before the main thread shuts down and need to be able to guarantee that even after a failure it still cleans up and goes down somewhat gracefully. The session factory looks like this:
public class SessionFactoryUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
static {
try
{
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
}
catch (Throwable ex)
{
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory()
{ try
{
return sessionFactory;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
}
