[FIXED] What is a newer alternative to Spring's OpenSessionInViewInterceptor?

Issue

I was reading through Spring's "hibernate support" documentation and saw that both OpenSessionInViewInterceptor and OpenSessionInViewFilter are deprecated, it says

Deprecated. as of Spring 4.3, in favor of Hibernate 4.x/5.x

but not more detail; since I always like to keep up to date with the frameworks I use, it bugs me not knowing what would I do in such scenario I could need one of these classes (without working with deprecated stuff), I know that the trend nowadays is to use REST architecture, in which case any of these would render useless but still, it's always good to know.

Solution

It says right there, the alternative is to upgrade Hibernate:

Deprecated. as of Spring 4.3, in favor of Hibernate 4.x/5.x

In other words, this class is deprecated:

org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter

In favour of this one:

org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter
