spring jpa hibernate writing to the DB fails - no transaction

Question

i have the following problem. I use Spring and JPA (Hibernate) to persist Data in a Database.
But i have an Error during saving the Data. My Database keeps empty after I create a new User. Here are the important files:

UserDao Interface:

import java.util.List;

public interface UserDao {
    public User findById(Integer id);
    public List<User> findAll();
    public User findByEmail(String email);
    public void save(User user);
}

UserDaoImpl:

@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {

     @PersistenceContext
     private EntityManager em;

     @Override
     public User findById(Integer id) {
         return em.find(User.class, id);
     }

     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     @Override
     public List<User> findAll() {
         return (List<User>)em.createQuery("from User u").getResultList();
     }

     @Override
     public User findByEmail(String email) {
         User user = null;
         try
         {
             user =  (User)em.createQuery("from User u where u.email = ?1").setParameter(1, email).getSingleResult();
         }
         catch(NoResultException e){}
         return user;
     }

     @Override
     @Transactional
     public void save(User user) {
         em.persist(user);
     }
}

    <persistence-unit name="ocpPU">
</persistence-unit>

When i create a new User i get the following Errorlog:

14:42:05,703 DEBUG [org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractSaveEventListener] - delaying identity-insert due to no transaction in progress
14:42:05,704 DEBUG [org.springframework.orm.jpa.EntityManagerFactoryUtils] - Closing JPA EntityManager
14:42:05,707 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Rendering view  [org.springframework.web.servlet.view.RedirectView: unnamed; URL [/user/login.htm]] in   DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcher'
 14:42:05,708 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Successfully completed request

I think its a Trancation Error. I´v already spent so much time in other channels. What means "delaying identity-insert due to no transaction in progress"?

thanks for the help beforehand greeting

Answer 1

The problem is the @Repository in UserDaoImpl, remove it and make a bean

<bean id="userDao" class="de.bht.swp.lao.ocp.user.UserDaoImpl" />

in your Context.xml

I can't explain this behavior but this is the reason.
