Spring JPA not storing to database - spring

Question

When I ran JUnit test on my service, it would successfully add the new entity to my database, but when I call the service from my Controller, it doesn't get saved to the database. What am I missing?
jpa.xml
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.mypackage.commons" />
<bean id="jpaVendorAdapter"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="true" />
<property name="generateDdl" value="true" />
<property name="database" value="MYSQL" />
</bean>
<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="jdbcDataSource" />
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter" ref="jpaVendorAdapter" />
<!-- spring based scanning for entity classes -->
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.mypackage" />
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager" />
<tx:annotation-driven />
UserService
#Service
public class RepositoryUserService implements UserService {
#Resource
private UserRepository userRepository;
#Transactional
#Override
public User create(User user) {
User newUser = userRepository.save(user);
return newUser;
}
}
MyController
#Controller
#Path("/users")
public class MyAPI {
#Autowired
private UserService userService;
#POST
#Path("/add")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Transactional
public Response addUser(User newUser) {
userService.create(newUser);
}
}

Answer 1

Set the entityManager for Transaction :
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
and the annotation driven this way :
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"
proxy-target-class="true" />
try to remove #Transactional from your controller, define Propagation and flush the session
#Transactional(propagation= Propagation.REQUIRED)
#Override
public User create(User user) {
try{
return userRepository.saveAndFlush(user);
} catch(DataIntegrityViolationException e){
// handle the exception in here to find out what is wrong
}
}
