Question

service class

@Service
public class UpdateService {
 @Autowired
 private ArBuildingRepository arBuildingRepository;

 public void updateArBuilding(boolean newNode, String rca){
     arBuildingRepository.updateByRca(newNode, rca);
 }

}

custom query in repo interface

public interface ArBuildingRepository extends JpaRepository<ArBuilding, Long> {
@Modifying
@Transactional
@Query("UPDATE ArBuilding ar SET ar.newNode = ?1 where ar.rca = ?2")
void updateByRca(boolean newNode, String rca);
}

error:

im using spring-batch, and When the ItemReader transfers data to the processor, before finishing the data processing in the processor, it must update the data in the old table with my custom update query.

Answer 1

According to the exception you have no transaction running.

You need to set up a transaction manager and use @EnableTransactionManagement in the configuration. See http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/transaction.html
