TransactionRequiredException occurs TomEE, JTA with Spring - spring

Question

I have problem with setup JTA + Spring on TomEE application server.
I tried to do something very similar to https://softwarecave.org/2014/03/15/using-jpa-and-jta-with-spring/. But still i am getting TranactionRequiredException. It looks like spring ignores Trasnsactional annotation on my save method.
My persistence xml is follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">

</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
My spring config is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I have configured DB resource and transaction manager on my tomee server and should be ok because deploying is ok and i can see this resources in tomcat manager. When i put wrong jndi deploy fails so this should be ok. But for better description this is my tomee.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomee>
<!-- see http://tomee.apache.org/containers-and-resources.html -->
<!-- activate next line to be able to deploy applications in apps -->
<!-- <Deployments dir="apps" /> -->
<Resource id="gTraxxxDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource">
jdbcDriver = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
jdbcUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:#127.0.0.1:1521:xe
jtaManaged = true
maxWaitTime = -1 millisecond
userName = GTRAXXX
password = ******
passwordCipher = PlainText
</Resource>
<TransactionManager type="TransactionManager">
adler32Checksum = true
bufferSizeKb = 32
checksumEnabled = true
defaultTransactionTimeout = 10 minutes
flushSleepTime = 50 Milliseconds
logFileDir = txlog
logFileExt = log
logFileName = howl
maxBlocksPerFile = -1
maxBuffers = 0
maxLogFiles = 2
minBuffers = 4
threadsWaitingForceThreshold = -1
txRecovery = false
</TransactionManager>
</tomee>
And finally this is my Service class which is autowired from my controller:
package sk.mlp.database;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.transaction.Transactional;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import sk.mlp.ui.model.User;
#Repository
#Transactional
public class Example {
#Autowired
private EntityManager entityManager;
#Transactional
public void updateName(Long userId, String name) {
User user = entityManager.find(User.class, userId);
user.setName(name);
entityManager.merge(user);
}
}
When I debug this, entityManager looks ok but on merge line TransactionrequiredException is raised.
Stacktrace is :
ov 29, 2016 4:32:33 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

I tried change a lot things in spring config but i dont know where is the problem.
Pls give me advice if you can.
Ps: this is my first post to stackOverflow so sorry, if I post it incorrectly. thanks

Answer 1

you used the standard #Transactional on your spring bean but I think your spring configuration doesn't even read it. Try using the spring #Transactional or define your context to use the spring JTA aspect(JtaAnnotationTransactionAspect)
