Here is my DaoImpl.java:

import javax.persistence.Query;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import com.app.webapp.data.dao.impl.GenericDaoImpl;
import com.app.webapp.data.dao.interfaces.security.IUserDao;
import com.app.webapp.data.domains.entities.Account;
import com.app.webapp.data.domains.entities.security.AccessPrivilege;
import com.app.webapp.data.domains.entities.security.ActiveSession;

import com.app.webapp.data.exceptions.DuplicatedUserException;
import com.app.webapp.data.exceptions.UserAlreadyHasAnAccountException;
import com.app.webapp.data.exceptions.UserNotFoundException;
#Repository("userDao")
#Transactional
public class UserDaoImpl implements IUserDao {
#PersistenceContext(unitName = "myPU")
protected EntityManager entityManager;
public UserDaoImpl() {
super(User.class);
}
#Override
#Transactional(readOnly = false, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public void save(User user) throws DuplicatedUserException {
logger.info("Creating User with username: " + user.getUsername());
User foundUser = null;
logger.info("Checking if user already existis...");
entityManager.persist(user);
logger.info("User " + user.getUsername() + " was been saved with success!");
}
}
Then the line to persist user is executed, I got the exception:
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: No transactional EntityManager available
But I can't understand why I can get data from db but I cannot write. I don't know if is anything in the servlet context and isn't shared with others contexts. Someone can help me?

Have you provide the #Transactional Annotation in #Service or service layer class? if yes then check your hibernet/entityManager.jar version compatibility.
