I open a new Hibernate Session at Function invocation, closing it on exit.
FWIW, I've used this pattern in the past and it caused me some problems. In particular, you risk leaving a session open whenever the user does not complete the form submission.
In my latest project, I've started using the "Open session in view" pattern (http://hibernate.bluemars.net/43.html) and found it to be much easier and robust.
YMMV ;-)
