Camel Transaction Configuration Issue: javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException - spring

Question

I'm configuring JMS Transactions in Camel 2.10.4 routes. When I run my app, a javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction in progress is thrown. From my research, I found out that this exception is thrown when no method is marked #Transactional. The relevant sections in my application context XML config file is shown:
<bean id="txMgr" class="org.springframework.jms.connection.JmsTransactionManager">
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="pooledConnectionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="REQUIRED" class="org.apache.camel.spring.spi.SpringTransactionPolicy">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="txMgr" />
<property name="propagationBehaviorName" value="PROPAGATION_REQUIRED" />
</bean>
<bean id="pooledConnectionFactory"
class="org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory" init-method="start" destroy-method="stop">
<property name="maxConnections" value="8" />
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsConnectionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="jmsConnectionFactory"
class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory">
<property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616" />
</bean>
<bean id="activemq" class="org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent">
<property name="configuration" ref="jmsConfig" />
</bean>
<bean id="jmsConfig"
class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration">
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="pooledConnectionFactory"/>
<property name="transacted" value="true" />
<property name="transactionManager" ref="txMgr" />
<property name="concurrentConsumers" value="3"/>
</bean>
Besides the JMS-specific configuration, I also have JPA configuration, which is shown below:
<bean id="transactionTemplate" class="org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionTemplate">
<property name="transactionManager">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="jpaTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTemplate">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="fileRecord" />
</bean>
If I disable transactions, the configuration works. When I enable it, however, all the other steps succeeds except the bit where the data is to be inserted into the database (at the JPA endpoint).
Any suggestions on what I need to change or add will be appreciated very much.
