HIBERNATE：TransactionRequiredException：在entityManager.createNativeQuery（）之后执行更新/删除查询

Question

I'm working on a project using Struts, Spring and Hibernate. After clicking on a button, the Struts action leads me through a DS and DAO, in which I try to call a native query to update the DB. Here is the error trace:

javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: Executing an update/delete query

at com.my.project.MyDS.updateValue(MyDS.java:784)

at com.my.project.MyAction.handleUpdate(MyAction.java:235)

MyDAO :

public class MyDAO extends
    AbstractDAOGenericImpl<MyEntity> {

    /** Entity Manager */
   @PersistenceContext(unitName = "myPersistenceUnit")
   private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Transactional(readOnly = false, isolation = Isolation.DEFAULT, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = {Exception.class})
    public int unsubscribe(String entityId) throws JrafDaoException {
        StringBuilder strQuery = new StringBuilder();
        strQuery.append("update MYENTITY set SUBSCRIBE=:subscribe where ENTITY_ID=:entity_id");

        final Query myQuery = getEntityManager().createNativeQuery(strQuery.toString(), MyEntity.class);
        myQuery.setParameter("subscribe", "N");
        myQuery.setParameter("entity_id", entityId);

        try {
            return myQuery.executeUpdate();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return 0;
    }
}

In MyDS :

@Autowired
@Qualifier("MyDAO")
private MyDAO myDao;

@Transactional(readOnly = false, isolation = Isolation.DEFAULT, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = {Exception.class})
public int unsubscribe(String entityId) throws JrafDomainException {
    return myDao.unsubscribe(entityId);
}

MyAction :

public class MyAction extends DispatchAction {

    private MyDS myDS;

    // ...

    private ActionForward handleUpdate(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form;
        myDS.unsubscribe(myForm.getEntityId());
    }
}

And application-context-spring.xml :

I'm working on an existing project which is why the unsubscribe function already exists and uses a native query instead of a HQL one. But maybe I should use it instead...?

Thanks for your help.

I also faced the similar issue. Adding

tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"

to your spring context xml will resolve the issue.
