Error No EntityManager with actual transaction available for current thread - cannot reliably process persist call

Question

I get this error when trying to invoke "persist" method to save entity model to database in my Spring MVC web application. Can't really find any post or page in internet that can relate to this particular error. It seems like something's wrong with EntityManagerFactory bean .

dispatcher-servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

     <bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateExceptionTranslator"/>

     <bean id="passwordValidator" class="wymysl.Validators.PasswordValidator"></bean>

     <bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

Hii @kartik,

If you have

@Transactional // Spring Transactional
class MyDao extends Dao {
}

and super-class

class Dao {
    public void save(Entity entity) { getEntityManager().merge(entity); }
}

and you call

@Autowired MyDao myDao;
myDao.save(entity);

you won't get a Spring TransactionInterceptor (that gives you a transaction).

This is what you need to do:

@Transactional 
class MyDao extends Dao {
    public void save(Entity entity) { super.save(entity); }
}
