Spring JPA error: A JTA EntityManager cannot use getTransaction()

Question

I've got a problem with my Spring web application with JPA and Glassfish server. When I'm trying to add new entry to a database ( entityManager.persist() ), I receive:

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not open JPA EntityManager for transaction; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: A JTA EntityManager cannot use getTransaction()

Here's my code:

persistence.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">
  <persistence-unit name="LibraryPU">
    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

    <properties>
      <property name="hibernate.transaction.jta.platform" value="org.hibernate.service.jta.platform.internal.SunOneJtaPlatform"/>
      <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

    @Transactional
    public void insert(User user) {
        entityManager.persist(user);

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

if You want to use JTA transaction in your code then

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">

remove the JpaTransactionManager and replace it with a JTA transaction manager.

Also define the transacation-type="JTA" like

<persistence-unit name="LibraryPU" transaction-type="JTA">

in persistence.xml .
