Is it mandatory to close transaction each time in Hibernate?

In Hibernate we close Session each time but is it necessary to close transaction each time in Hibernate or only transaction commit is sufficient?

We can only begin , commit or rollback a transaction . So , closing a transaction is ambiguous to me . Does it mean commit or rollback a transaction ?

If a transaction begins , a database connection will be established between the client and server . This connection will only be released if the transaction is committed , roll-backed or time-out (if database supports it) .

Calling session.close() will call java.sql.Connection#close() . According to the JDBC specification , if java.sql.Connection#close() is called and there is an active transaction, the result of this active transaction depends on the JDBC vendor 's implementation. In case of Postgresql, it will automatically rollback . So it is strongly recommended that an application explicitly commits or rolls back an active transaction prior to session.close()
