在 Spring 启动应用程序中获取“javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException：没有正在进行的事务”

Question

I am using JPA+Hibernate in my Spring Boot Application. My Service Method is as follows:-

    @Override
    public Employee createEmployee(Employee employeeModel) {
        logger.debug("entered the createEmployee method");
        Optional<Employee> optionalEmployee = repository.findByEmpShortNm(employeeModel.getEmpShortNm());
        logger.debug("Fetched the optional");
        if(optionalEmployee.isPresent())
            return optionalEmployee.get();
        else {
            logger.debug("Persisting employee.....");
            return repository.save(employeeModel);
        }
    }

EmployeeRepository.java has following method:-

@Lock(LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)
Optional<Employee> findByEmpShortNm(String uuid);

My Application was working fine until I applied Lock annotation on my repository method. After applying Lock createEmployee method is throwing following exception:-

javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction is in progress

Why it's not able to get a transaction while it was working fine when I was not using @Lock Annoation. What's the relation b/w @Lock and Transaction.

I would appreciate if any reference can be provided.

Answer 1

Solution: you should annotate your service with @Transactional

When the lock is explicitly enabled and there is no active transaction, the underlying JPA implementation will throw a TransactionRequiredException.

It is somehow logical when you don't have your own transaction, why do you want to lock the entity object? You should have a transaction outside repository method during which, you want to lock entity object.
