6.5. Executing Smooks with a SessionRegister Object

The following code executes Smooks. A SessionRegister object is used so the Hibernate Session can be accessed from within Smooks. 
Smooks smooks = new Smooks("smooks-config.xml");
 
ExecutionContext executionContext = smooks.createExecutionContext();
 
// The SessionRegister provides the bridge between Hibernate and the
// Persistence Cartridge. We provide it with the Hibernate session.
// The Hibernate Session is set as default Session.
DaoRegister register = new SessionRegister(session);
 
// This sets the DAO Register in the executionContext for Smooks
// to access it.
PersistenceUtil.setDAORegister(executionContext, register);
 
Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
 
smooks.filterSource(executionContext, source);
 
transaction.commit();
