Question

I’m trying to get my spring DAOs to work but I only get this exception

PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'sessionFactory' threw exception; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here

my applicationContext.xml looks like this

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans  http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd">

    <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/> 

    <bean id="ds1Datasource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
        <property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/ds1"/>
     </bean>

 <bean id="mySessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="db2Datasource"/>
    <property name="mappingResources">
      <list>
        <value>hibernate/P1.hbm.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
      <value>
        hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.DB2400Dialect
        hibernate.connection.autocommit=false
        hibernate.connection.charset=UTF-8
        hibernate.show_sql=true
      </value>
    </property>
  </bean>

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="myTxManager"/>   
<bean id="myTxManager"  class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager" />


  <bean id="p1" class="dao.DomainP1Impl">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="mySessionFactory" />
  </bean>

And my DAO like this

@Transactional
public class DomainP1Impl implements DomainP1 {...}

What I’m doing wrong? Forgotten to mention: I’m using a JBoss AS 4.2.3

Answer 1

Add this to the session factory bean (mySessionFactory):

<property name="exposeTransactionAwareSessionFactory"><value>false</value></property>

And then see explanation here.
