and it does not go through my layers of spring, such as service, but when I remove this line of code from my applicationContext.xml, it will go through service and then dao but I cannot create any session:

and maybe it is useful, when I debug my project it will go through this action
public String execute() {
if(firstName.equals("") || lastName.equals("")){
return ERROR;
}
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
Students student = new Students();
student.setFirstName(firstName);
student.setLastName(lastName);
StudentService service = (StudentService) ctx.getBean("StudentService");
service.addStudent(student);
return SUCCESS;
}
and when I use tx:annotations it wants to open the class JdkDynamicAopProxy and it cannot, but when I do not use tx:annotations, it will go to the StudentServiceImpl.addStudent(student)!!
I am so confused, it is my first project using j2ee, and I should deliver it by tomorrow morning :|, so any advise will greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Your datasource bean should look like following
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"></property>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/enrollment"></property>
<property name="username" value="root"></property>
<property name="password" value="root"></property>
</bean>
Note you were missing driverClassName property in basic data source.
