Adding TransactionManager in Hibernate Spring

Question

Getting error when adding Transaction-Manager. What's wrong? :/ Few possible answers reffer to lack of some hibernate libraries. However It seems that all of them do persist. How to overcome this? Also I want to add some test data to my database. In what class is it better to insert it? Thank you.

DAO:

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

@Override
public void addStudentToDB(Student student) {

}....

Service:

@Service
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.SUPPORTS, readOnly = true)
public class StudentService implements IStudentService{

    @Autowired
    MiniVLEDAOImplementation dao;    

    public StudentService() {

        Student s = dao.getStudentFromDB(urn);
        return s;
    }


    @Override
    @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, readOnly = false)
    public void addStudent(Student student) {
        dao.addStudentToDB(student);
    }...

Controller:

@Controller
public class miniVLEController {

    @Autowired
    StudentService studentService;

After adding the aopalliance-1.0.jar getting next ERROR:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'miniVLEController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: miniVLE.service.StudentService miniVLE.controller.miniVLEController.studentService; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set miniVLE.service.StudentService field miniVLE.controller.miniVLEController.studentService to sun.proxy.$Proxy536

One of the solutions was to add <aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true"/> into the dispatcher-servlet. next Error:

    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'miniVLEController' defined in file

Answer 1

You need to add aopalliance.jar dependency. If you use maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>aopalliance</groupId>
    <artifactId>aopalliance</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Following the problem escalation:

Needed to find aspectjrt-1.xxjar that was missing to overcome last error and then to overcome org.aspectj.util.PartialOrder.PartialComparable error you need to get aspectjtools-1.XXjar

here I found all extra libraries i needed http://www.jarfinder.com/index.php/java/info/org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException
