Issue in configuring JPA with Spring 3 in Jboss 4.2.2 server

Question

I am facing issues in configuring JPA with Spring 3 in JBoss 4.2.2 server.

Please find the below file of persistence.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"
 version="1.0">
 <persistence-unit name="TestPU">
  <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
  <jta-data-source>java:/TestDS</jta-data-source>
  <properties>
   <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
   <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
  </properties>
 </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

My spring-beans.xml is as below

 <bean id="MyAdvise" class=".......Aspect">
  <property name="persister">
         <bean id="dbPersister" class="..............DataBasePersister">
         </bean>
      </property>
 </bean>

    <bean id="localContainerEntityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
  <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
   <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
    <property name="showSql" value="true"/>
    <property name="database" value="ORACLE"/>
   </bean>
  </property>

  <property name="jpaProperties">
   <props>
    <prop key="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup</prop>
   </props>
  </property>
 </bean> 

 <bean id="myTxManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
  <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="localContainerEntityManagerFactory"/>
 </bean>


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

My persister bean is as follows.

public class DataBasePersister implements IPersister {

 private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(DataBasePersister.class);

 // The Entity Manager
 @PersistenceContext
 protected EntityManager entityManager;

 @Transactional(readOnly = false)
 public void persist(Object data) {
  log.info("IN persist() call. Is the data can castable to MethodStats -->:"+(data instanceof MethodStats));
  log.info("Entity Manager instance -->:"+(entityManager));
  ----------------------
  ----------------------
  ----------------------  
 }

}

I am getting the following exception when the spring container creating my persister bean

Can you somebody please suggest me how to resolve this.

Answer 1

If you want to use JPA provider configured by your application server and JTA transactions, you need to obtain it from JNDI (instead of configuring it manually with LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean) and use JtaTransactionManager rather than JpaTransactionManager.

See 13.5.1.2 Obtaining an EntityManagerFactory from JNDI and documentation of your application server.
