StaleObjectStateException or OptimisticLockingException

where can I find information on what Exception to catch in a version based optimistic locking save operation.

Texts on "the internet" suggests any of either Hibernate's own or JPA's OptimisticLockingException, but as I went for that I see that in my Hibernate 4.3 Session based app this type of Exception comes carried by a org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException.

The differences of the suggestions makes me wonder what the "real "way to do this is.

Also, I have prepared moving from Hibernate Session to JPA. Is there a standard on this issue (of mine)? What would that be?

Cheers Mats

It depends on the API you are going to use.

  1. If you use JPA and the EntityManager interface, then Hibernate will simply wrap the StaleStateException, which is a base class of StaleObjectStateException in anOptimisticLockingException.

  2. If you use the Hibernate-specific API through the Session interface, you'll get the StaleObjectStateException instead.
