WildFly 14 + Hibernate 5.3.6 - no transaction is in progress

[sergiu_pienar]

I'm trying out WildFly 14 and in the process I've ran across this exception:

Caused by: javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction is in progress
        at org.hibernate.internal.SessionImpl.checkTransactionNeeded(SessionImpl.java:3552)
        at org.hibernate.internal.SessionImpl.doFlush(SessionImpl.java:1444)
        at org.hibernate.internal.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1440)

The same deployables work just fine with WildFly 13 and Hibernate 5.1.14.

The insert I'm trying to do is started from within a method inside an EJB, method that is annotated with @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) so I'm not sure where the problem may lie.

Hi,

could you please provide example of bean (or at least method) that throws this exception?

Thanks

[sergiu_pienar]

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
@RolesAllowed({ "PROCESS_C", "INTERNAL_SYSTEM" })
public void insert(final Long clientId, final Process p)
throws Exception {


try {
Session sess = hsf.openSession();
sess.save(bean);
sess.flush();
return bean;

} catch (Exception e) {
ProcessBean.LOGGER.error("Error inserting Process entry for client: " + clientId, e);
throw new EJBException("Error inserting Process entry for client: " + clientId, e);
}
}

Where hsf is the SessionFactory that results after a call like this:

Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
SessionFactory sf = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

what does your deployment look like?

can you paste list of the jars in your lib

[sergiu_pienar]

The deployment is an EAR with a lib and META-INF folder inside plus 3 war's a jar holding the EJBs and 4 resource adapters.

I can paste the list of jars deployed in the lib folder, if needed, but as I initially mentioned all this was working with the previous version of WildFly and hibernate.

I believe it is this

"""

Hibernate now conforms with the JPA specification to not allow flushing updates outside of a transaction boundary. To restore 5.1 behavior, allowing flush operations outside of a transaction boundary, set hibernate.allow_update_outside_transaction=true.

"""

from Hibernate ORM 5.2 migration guide.

That was it, Martin. Thank you !
