Does it make sense to use Hibernate clear method and then rollback?

I want to know if there is any difference between hibernate's session.clear method and rollback() method? I understand that session.clear() will clear objects from the session and rollback() will rollback whole transaction. My question is will there be any performance difference if I use both methods together - first call session.clear() method and then call session.rollback() method?

Solution

  • In a typical transaction (pseudo-code):

    try {
    Begin Transaction;
    update + flush
    update + flush
    throw Ex
    commit;
} catch Ex {
    rollback;
    // if you make rollback, clear is needed 
    clear;
}
