Spring Boot JTA exception while making JMS call - spring-boot

Question

I'm getting JTA exception while running an example from the Pro Spring 5 book (12. Using Spring Remote, boot-jms project). Here is the entirety of the code (exclude the imports). It only has one file Application.java:
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
#Bean
public JmsListenerContainerFactory<DefaultMessageListenerContainer> connectionFactory(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory,
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) {
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory();
// This provides all boot's default to this factory, including the message converter
configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory);
// You could still override some of Boot's default if necessary.
return factory;
}
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
JmsTemplate jmsTemplate = ctx.getBean(JmsTemplate.class);
jmsTemplate.setDeliveryDelay(5000L);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
logger.info(">>> Sending: Test message: " + i);
jmsTemplate.convertAndSend("prospring5", "Test message: " + i);
}
System.in.read();
ctx.close();
}
#JmsListener(destination = "prospring5", containerFactory = "connectionFactory")
public void onMessage(Message message) {
TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) message;
try {
logger.info(">>> Received: " + textMessage.getText());
} catch (JMSException ex) {
logger.error("JMS error", ex);
}
}
}
First, I got the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError:

at com.apress.prospring5.ch12.Application.main(Application.java:54)
Then I commented out "jmsTemplate.setDeliveryDelay(5000L);". So I was able to get pass this error but only end up with the JTA exception.

start a JTA transaction if you want your JMS operations to be subject to JTA commit/rollback, or
increase the maxPoolSize of the AtomikosConnectionFactoryBean to avoid transaction timeout while waiting for a connection, or
create a non-transacted session and do session acknowledgment yourself, or

My project includes the dependency of spring-boot-starter-artemis and spring-boot-starter-jta-atomikos:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-artemis</artifactId>
<version>2.0.6.RELEASE</version>

<artifactId>transactions-hibernate4</artifactId>
<version>4.0.4</version>
</dependency>
The error message seems suggesting the Transaction is missing, so I had added #Transactional annotation at the listener and jmsTemplate, but the same problem still persists.

Answer 1

The problem seems is that I had included spring-boot-starter-jta-atomikos and transactions-hibernate4 in the dependencies. Once I removed these 2 dependencies, the code works. The intention of this example is not to do transaction but demonstrate spring-boot doing JMS over artemis. But since I have these 2 transaction related files in classpath, spring-boot automatically asks for transaction.
