JPA EntityManagerHolder cannot be cast to Hibernate SessionHolder with Spring 5.1 and Hibernate 5.3 - spring

Question

In our project, which uses Spring Boot 2.1.3, Spring Data Rest 3.1.5, Spring Data JPA 2.1.5 and Hibernate 5.3.7, we are using some of the new possibilities provided by the changes in Spring Framework 5.1 and Hibernate 5.3 i.e. this one and this one. Furthermore, we use Spring Data JPA with Spring Data Rest repositories.
We are injecting a spring-managed service into an EntityListener which works flawlessly when we are using the LocalSessionFactoryBean as entityManagerFactory:
#Configuration
#EnableJpaRepositories(
basePackages = "com.example.repository",
bootstrapMode = BootstrapMode.DEFERRED,
entityManagerFactoryRef = "sessionFactory",
transactionManagerRef = "hibernateTransactionManager"
)
#EnableTransactionManagement
#Profile({ "local", "dev", "prod" })
public class DatabaseConfig
{
#Bean
public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory(
final DataSource dataSource
)
{
final LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
sessionFactory.setDataSource(dataSource);
sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan("com.example.model");
return sessionFactory;
}
#Bean
public PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor exceptionTranslation()
{
return new PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor();
}
#Bean
public HibernateTransactionManager hibernateTransactionManager(
final SessionFactory sessionFactory,
final DataSource dataSource
)
{
final HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory);
transactionManager.setDataSource(dataSource);
return transactionManager;
}
}
But as soon as we receive the first HTTP request to fetch data from a repository, we get this ClassCastException:
ERROR 36194 --- [nio-8020-exec-6] o.s.d.r.w.RepositoryRestExceptionHandler :

Our repositories are configured like this:
#RepositoryRestResource(
path = "/results",
collectionResourceRel = "results",
itemResourceRel = "result"
)
public interface ResultRepository extends JpaRepository<Result, Long>
{
}
I found several posts about this but all of them were before Spring 5.1 was released with the new changes and most of the posts recommended a Hibernate downgrade which is not possible for us.
Edit
The complete stacktrace looks as follows:

spring.jpa.open-in-view=false and the HibernateTransactionManager was configured.

Answer 1

As M. Deinum said in the first comment, the solution is to remove the HibernateTransactionManager and use the one automatically provided by Spring.
Furthermore, it might be a good idea to disable spring.jpa.open-in-view because it will eagerly fetch an EntityManager.
