Application using JPA does not save to database - spring

Question

I'm trying to save some object in my database but entityManager.prestis() doesn't work.
I'm using Spring MVC with the #Transactional annotation.
I was looking for sollution, but most of them said add:
<tx:annotation-driven />
It doesnt't resolve my problem, so there is my code, maybe someone could help me.
CategoryDaoImpl.class
#Repository("categoryDao")
public class CategoryDaoImpl implements CategoryDao {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CategoryDaoImpl.class);
private EntityManager entityManager;
public EntityManager getEntityManager() {
return entityManager;
}
#PersistenceContext
public void setEntityManager(EntityManager entityManager) {
this.entityManager = entityManager;
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#Override
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public List<Category> findAll() {
return entityManager.createQuery("from Category c").getResultList();
}
#Override
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public Category findById(Long id) {
return entityManager.find(Category.class, id);
}
#Override
#Transactional(readOnly = false, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public Category save(Category category) {
entityManager.persist(category);
return category;
}
}

I tried all options from EntityManager cannot use persist to save element to database and have same problems, but sollution doesn't resolve my.
Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

To mark this question as answered:
The problem is that the servlet-specific context re-scans (and thus redefines, without applying the transactional settings) the beans (services and DAOs) that are defined by the root context. As a result, the controller gets a reference to the non-transactional redefined bean, instead of getting a reference to the transactional, original bean.
