Well, my project was using EJB and JPA (with Hibernate), but I had to switch to Spring.
Everything was working well before that. The EJB used to inject the EntityManager, controled the transaction, etc.
Ok, when I switched to Spring, I had a lot of problems because I’m new on Spring. But after everything is running, I have the problem: the data is never saved on database. I configured my Spring to control the transactions, I have spring beans used in JSF, that has spring services that do the hard work. This services have a EntityManager injected and use @Transactional REQUIRED. This services pass the EntityManager to a DAO that call entityManager.persist(bean).
The selects appears to work well, the JTA transaction appears to work well to (I saw in log), but the entity is not saved!
Here is the log:

In the log, I see it commiting the transaction, but I don’t see the insert query (the Hibernate is printing any query). I also see that the Hibernate lookup to get the next value of the sequence ID. But after that, it never really inserts.
Here is the spring context configuration:

Here is my service that is injected in the managed bean:
@Service
@Scope("prototype")
@Transactional(propagation= Propagation.REQUIRED)
public class MontanteServiceImpl {
// more code
@PersistenceContext(unitName="PronatecPU", type= PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
private EntityManager entityManager;
// more code
// The method that is called by another public method that do something before
private void salvarMontante(Montante montante) {
montante.setDataTransacao(new Date());
MontanteDao montanteDao = new MontanteDao(entityManager);
montanteDao.salvar(montante);
}
// more code
}
My MontanteDao inherits from a base DAO, like this:
public class MontanteDao extends BaseDao<Montante> {
public MontanteDao(EntityManager entityManager) {
super(entityManager);
}
}
And the method that is called in BaseDao is this:
public void salvar(T bean) {
entityManager.persist(bean);
}
Like you can see, it just pick the injected entityManager and call the persist() method. The transaction is being controlled by the Spring, like is printed in the log, but the insert query is never printed in log and it is never saved.
I’m sorry about my bad english.
Thanks in advance for who helps.
EDIT:
Debugging, I saw that after each entityManager.persist(T), there’s another action enqueued in the actionQueue of type “insert”. After all, it’s just queueing the actions and it’s never executing them. Have anyone already faced this kind of problem?
Well, I finally solved my problem. There was some misconfiguration of the JTA. I don’t know what could be, but I changed to RESOURCE_LOCAL and it worked.
First time I tried RESOURCE_LOCAL, I fell in trouble with the Glassfish validating the @PersistenceContext annotation and throwing “Could not resolve a persistence unit corresponding to the persistence-context-ref-name[…]”. Then I found a good way to disable this validation: specifying
on my web.xml. It says “Don’t look at the annotations, because it’s not necessary”. Well, Spring is my container and it’ll, by itself, look at annotations and configure what is needed. Then I don’t need my server to do so.
After all, my configurations look like this:
web.xml:
Spring’s context.xml:
persistence.xml:
And my injected entityManager:
I hope this will help who has the same problem.
