    Spring: EntityHome EntityQuery Transactional Supported?

      Hi!
      I am going to create a seam-gen application that uses Spring to provide the entityManager as described here. But I am worried about compatibility with the EntityHome/EntityQuery classess...


      Why?


      Well, because they use the @Transactional annotation... is that compatible with spring:spring-transaction? I have the feeling that it will crash with a no transaction is in progress


      Am I right?


      Regards,

          Hi!


          Well, yes, it crashes (precisely with the error no transaction is in progress), and org.jboss.seam.framework.EntityHome.update has a @Transactional:


          @Transactional
             public String update()
             {
                joinTransaction();
                getEntityManager().flush();
                updatedMessage();
                raiseAfterTransactionSuccessEvent();
                return "updated";
             }
          



          Any hints? here is the stacktrace:

          • 2. Re: Spring: EntityHome EntityQuery Transactional Supported?

            Hi!


            So, please correct me if I am wrong:


            @Transactional only works for JTA transactions. Why? well, because @Transactional is just there to tell the TransactionInterceptor that the annotated method will be wrapped by an instance of org.jboss.seam.util.Work and its class comment is: Performs work in a JTA transaction.


            In other words, @Transactional is doesn't adapt to the current transaction configuration, it does not automatically detect that the PlatformTransactionManager of Spring is configured and therefore it does not use it...


            So am I right?


            And, if I am right... what can be done? is there a way to override org.jboss.seam.transaction.TransactionInterceptor with my own implementation (one that calls PlatformTransactionManager?)


            Regards,

              I am thinking now that org.jboss.seam.util.Work is not used when Spring is used... or something like that... I still don't quite understand how this happens, but @Transactional does work.. and without JTA...

              No, I am wrong, it does adapt, but I still do not understand how.

              Regards,



              I just had to add this to my applicationContext.xml and now everything works (but I am still confused):


                 <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.jboss.seam.ioc.spring.SeamManagedEntityManagerFactoryBean">
                         <property name="persistenceContextName" value="entityManager"/>
                   </bean>
              



              It seems that if I do not Re-gift the entity manager to Spring I am not to be able to use @Transaction


              It would be nice if someone in this forum could help me understand how the different transaction strategies in seam work...


              Regards,
