Save method not persisting entity object Spring Data JPA

Question

I am moving my current code from hibernate and mybatis to spring data jpa.I configured spring data with my existing application and tried to perform certain operations.

When I tried to persist an entity using save(T t) it didn't return any exception and returned same entity object as result but didn't persist.

Persistence.xml

<context:annotation-config />

<tx:annotation-driven />

<bean id="dataSource"
    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
    p:driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" p:url="${db.url}"
    p:username="${db.username}" p:password="${db.password}" />

Persisting entity

Answer 1

Can you just check the following :

1. There are two Transaction Manager Bean which are declared. Are they required?
2. Why do you need session factory bean declaration ?
3. Set the hibernate.show_sql to true as part of JPA Properties (for debugging)
4. Are explicitly setting the primary key OR are you using a sequence?

Also if possible provide all the logs available from server startup till this error point for any further analysis.
