How to configure transaction management for spring 4/hibernate 4.3 app deployed to WAS 8

Have found a million posts on this and tried just as many approaches. Fact is I can't find anywhere an example of configuring a Spring app with Hibernate, that has transactions supported OK in Websphere 8(.5).

Here's my spring config:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"foobar"})
@EnableTransactionManagement // equiv to <tx:annotation-driven/>
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy(proxyTargetClass=true) // equiv to <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>
public class MySpringConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    private AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory;

    @Bean(name = "dataSource")
    public DataSource dataSource() { 
        try {
            final javax.naming.InitialContext ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
            return (javax.sql.DataSource) ic.lookup(FoobarConfiguration.getInstance().getDatasourceJNDIName());
        } catch (final NamingException ne) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to access JNDI lookup using (" + FoobarConfiguration.getInstance().getDatasourceJNDIName() + ")", ne);
        }
    }

    @Bean(name = "sessionFactory")
    public SessionFactory sessionFactory() {
        LocalSessionFactoryBuilder builder = new LocalSessionFactoryBuilder(dataSource());
        builder.scanPackages("foobar.om");

        // builder.setJtaTransactionManager(new WebSphereUowTransactionManager());
        // Didn't work. gave: org.hibernate.TransactionException: Could not register synchronization for container transaction

        Properties props = buildHibernateProperties();
        builder.addProperties(props);

        return builder.buildSessionFactory();
    }

    /**
     * These were taken, with comments, from application-config conversion
     */
    private Properties buildHibernateProperties() {
        Properties props = new Properties();

        // Set the default-schema for Hibernate to use.
        props.setProperty("hibernate.default_schema", "foobar");

        props.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect");
        props.setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "validate");

        // Sets the DEBUG Level of the hibernate: SQL generation layer.
        props.setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "true");

        props.setProperty("hibernate.generate_statistics", "false");

        props.setProperty("hibernate.order_updates", "true");
        props.setProperty("hibernate.order_inserts", "true");

        // Not needed as we have Spring: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4293098/how-to-integrate-spring-with-hibernate-session-and-transaction-management
        // props.setProperty("hibernate.current_session_context_class", "org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext");

        props.setProperty("hibernate.cache.use_query_cache", "false");
        props.setProperty("hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache", "false");
        return props;
    }

    @Bean(name = "transactionManager")
    public HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager() {
        return new HibernateTransactionManager(sessionFactory());
    }

    @Bean(name = "persistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor")
    public PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor getExceptionProcessor() {
        return new PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor();
    }
}

The version as shown works fine in local Jetty environment. It's on deployment to Websphere that an exception is thrown when commence a transaction:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: No CurrentSessionContext configured!

You can see in the config 2 earlier commented-out approaches. The former, setJtaTransactionManager is from the class-level javadoc note on http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.0.2.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/orm/hibernate4/LocalSessionFactoryBuilder.html. But if I should have something in there then I don't know what it is.

I only had issues when I upgraded from 4.1.0 to 4.3.5. Unless you need 4.3.5 functionality you don't need to downgrade all the way to 3. The 4.3.5 version does work fine in Jetty though. It is only websphere I have issues with. Imagine that.
