Create EntityManager as well as persistence

Question

I am new to Spring and JPA. I am creating one example and tried to convert it into JPA. Using session factory its working fine but when I have converted into entity manger with persistence.xml then its not working and throws below exception.

ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-4) UT005023: Exception handling request to /Spring-hibernate-integration-helloworld/saveUser.html: org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction is in progress

This is my dispatcher-servlet.xml

This is my persistence.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
    version="1.0">
    <persistence-unit name="personPersistenceUnit"  transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <class>com.beingjavaguys.domain.User</class>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

This is my Dao class:

public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {
    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public void saveUser(User user) {
        entityManager.persist(user);
        entityManager.flush();
    }

    @Override
    public List<User> getUser() {
        return new ArrayList<User>();
    }

}

What I am missing?

Answer 1

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />

This configuration is only one side of the medal, you need the other side too in the class:

public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {
    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Transactional // <-- this is new
    @Override
    public void saveUser(User user) {
        entityManager.persist(user);
        entityManager.flush();
    }

    @Override
    public List<User> getUser() {
        return new ArrayList<User>();
    }

}
