I'm trying to set up a Spring JPA Hibernate simple example WAR for deployment to Glassfish.
I see some examples use a persistence.xml file, and other examples do not.
Some examples use a dataSource, and some do not. So far my understanding is that a dataSource is not needed if I have:
<persistence-unit name="educationPU"
transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<class>com.coe.jpa.StudentProfile</class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"
value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/COE" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root" />
<property name="show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
I can deploy fine, but my EntityManager is not getting injected by Spring.
My applicationContext.xml:
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="educationPU" />
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" />
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
<bean id="StudentProfileDAO" class="com.coe.jpa.StudentProfileDAO">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="studentService" class="com.coe.services.StudentService">
</bean>
My class with the EntityManager:
public class StudentService {
private String saveMessage;
private String showModal;
private String modalHeader;
private StudentProfile studentProfile;
private String lastName;
private String firstName;
@PersistenceContext(unitName="educationPU")
private EntityManager em;
@Transactional
public String save()
{
System.out.println("*** em: " + this.em); //em is null
this.studentProfile= new StudentProfile();
this.saveMessage = "saved";
this.showModal = "true";
this.modalHeader= "Information Saved";
return "successs";
}
My web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
Are there any pieces I am missing to have Spring inject "em" in to StudentService?
Best Solution
Just to confirm though you probably did...
Did you include the
bits in your application context.xml?
Also I'm not so sure you'd be able to use a jta transaction type with this kind of setup? Wouldn't that require a data source managed connection pool? So try RESOURCE_LOCAL instead.
