Spring Failed to open transaction on service

Question

I wanted to install @Transactional for my services instead of my DAOs ... in order to open a transaction and be able to use some lazy collections in my services without getting a "LazyInitializationException".

So far, @Transactional been in the DAO, and transactions have been opened and closed when you enter and exit the DAO.

Now that @Transactional in my services, transactions do not even open. Thus, the service calls the DAO without opening a transaction, and we got the following exception: org.hibernate.SessionException: session closed!

We use JPA over Hibernate, here is an excerpt from our configuration:

 <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" /> <bean class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor"/> <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean"/> <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager"> <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" /> </bean> <tx:annotation-driven /> 

EDIT, thanks for your answers / comments: So, I declare @Transactional on the whole service (implementation, not interface), and not on methods, to be sure that @Transactional will apply to everyone.

 @Transactional public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService { public void method1(){...} public void method2(){...} } 

I also give you how my DAOs are configured, they all extend the following class:

 public abstract class JpaDAOSupport { protected EntityManager em; @PersistenceContext(type = PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION) public void setEm(EntityManager em) { this.em = em; } } 

EDIT2: I simplified my application to have only 1 service and 1 DAO.

MyService:

 @Transactional public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService { private MyDAO myDAO; public void setMyDAO(MyDAO myDAO) { this.myDAO = myDAO; } @Override public void method1() { List<String> things = myDAO.getAll(); System.out.println("Test size: " + things.size()); } @Override public void method2() { List<String> things = myDAO.getAll(); for (String thing : things) { System.out.println(thing); } } } 

Mydao

 @Repository public class MyDAOImpl extends JpaDAOSupport implements MyDAO { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Override public List<String> getAll() { Query query = em.createQuery("FROM " + Cfg.class.getName()); List<Cfg> result = query.getResultList(); List<String> realResult = new ArrayList<String>(); for (Cfg cfg : result) { realResult.add(cfg.getKey()); } return realResult; } }

I would like to understand why transactions do not open and how can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Ok actually the problems were

• configuration problem
• Transactions cannot be opened in the init method because there is no (transactional) proxy yet.

For 1 .:

  <!-- transaction manager for use with a single JPA EntityManagerFactory for transactional data access to a single datasource --> <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager" p:entityManagerFactory-ref="entityManagerFactory" /> <!-- uses the persistence unit defined in the META-INF/persistence.xml JPA configuration file --> <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean" p:dataSource-ref="dataSource"> <property name="jpaProperties"> <props> <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop> <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop> <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop> </props> </property> </bean> <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource" p:driverClassName="${dataSource.driverClassName}" p:url="${dataSource.url}" p:username="${dataSource.username}" p:password="${dataSource.password}" /> 

about 2 .:

• using TransactionTemplate
• register ApplicationListener and listen for ContextRefreshedEvent

Answer 2

It looks like it could be one of:

• Your @Transactional annotation is on the interface and you are using the wrong proxy type

• Your internal call @Transactional

@Transactional docs

Spring recommends only annotating specific classes (and methods of specific classes) with @Transactional annotation, rather than annotating interfaces. Of course, you can put the @Transactional annotation on an interface (or an interface method), but this only works as you would expect if you use an interface-based proxy. The fact that Java annotations are not inherited from interfaces means that if you use class-based proxy-target-class="true" ( proxy-target-class="true" ) or weaving-based aspect ( mode="aspectj" ), then the transaction parameters are not recognized proxy and weaving infrastructure, and the object will not be wrapped in a transactional proxy, which will be clearly bad.

Note In proxy mode (default), only external method calls coming through the proxy server are intercepted. This means that self-exclusion, essentially a method in the target that calls another method of the target, will not lead to an actual transaction at runtime, even if the called method is marked with @Transactional .

EDIT: You should also check documents for the LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean used. Based on my quick read, it seems that you are missing the property that you might need. It also mentions some features of weaving that may play a role here.
