Yes, a disconnected hibernate session is an in-memory transactional state. On disconnection the database connection is released, on reconnection the session will aquire a new database connection from the original connection pool. A Hibernate application transaction is a very convenient programming model: In most web application you're gathering input from the user across several requests. You keep all data in memory, only flushing it to the database after a final step (e.g. 'book order'). Normally this requires you to do the following housekeeping in each request: 1) get a new Hibernate session first (can be automated) 2) attach all transactional data with the Hibernate session 3) load new data into memory (through queries or lazy references) 4) change data in memory 5) close Hibernate session (can be automated too) Note that the point 2) is not trivial to do. Your Wicket models might have references to many objects originally loaded from Hibernate. How do you ensure that all these objects are re-attached to the new Hibernate session? If you use disconnected Hibernate sessions, 1) and 5) change to reconnection and disconnection respectively, and 2) is furthermore obsolete. AFAIK these so called 'application transaction' are seldom used, but repeatedly recommended by Gavin King.
