Spring data JPA configuration

Question

I'm working on a spring web application using Spring Data JPA lately

I'm having problems with the persistanceConfiguration

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@PropertySource({ "/resources/hibernate.properties" })
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.servmed.repositories")

public class PersistenceConfig {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;


    Properties jpaProperties() {
        return new Properties() {
            {
                setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", env.getProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto"));
                setProperty("hibernate.dialect", env.getProperty("hibernate.dialect")); //allows Hibernate to generate SQL optimized for a particular relational database.
                setProperty("hibernate.show_sql",env.getProperty("hibernate.show_sql"));
            }
        };
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory()
    {
        HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
        vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
        vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        factory.setDataSource(dataSource());
        factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
        factory.setJpaProperties(jpaProperties());
        factory.setPackagesToScan("com.servmed.models");

        factory.setLoadTimeWeaver(new InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver());
        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager()
    {
        EntityManagerFactory factory = entityManagerFactory().getObject();
        return new JpaTransactionManager(factory);
    }

    @Bean
    public HibernateExceptionTranslator hibernateExceptionTranslator(){
        return new HibernateExceptionTranslator();
    }


    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClassName(env.getProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
        dataSource.setUrl(env.getProperty("jdbc.url"));
        dataSource.setUsername(env.getProperty("jdbc.user"));
        dataSource.setPassword(env.getProperty("jdbc.pass"));

        return dataSource;
    }
}

And here's my pom.xml

It doesn't seem to work for me, i get this error:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Factory method [public org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.BeanFactoryTransactionAttributeSourceAdvisor org.springframework.transaction.annotation.ProxyTransactionManagementConfiguration.transactionAdvisor()] threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionInterceptor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/transaction/annotation/ProxyTransactionManagementConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property 'transactionManager' is required

any idea why ?

EDIT

it doesn't seem that the entityManagerFactory method is creating properly the bean used in transactionManager, i had the same problem with hibernate (sessionFactory bean is not created, and cannot be used in transactionManager method )

EDIT 2

I got rid of this problem(it was because of a wrong properties file) but now i gey another error :

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [com/servmed/configuration/PersistenceConfig.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory

Answer 1

Here is how I defined my transaction manager:

  @Bean
  public Object transactionManager() {
    return new org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager();
  }

And instead of calling the entityFactory method, you should perhaps inject it: this would avoid dependency injection errors in entityManagerFactory.

@Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory factory)
{
    return new JpaTransactionManager(factory);
}

EDIT

Apart from persistence.xml, the call of afterPropertiesSet() and the setLoadTimeWeaver, we have the same code.

@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory()
{
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
    vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

    Properties jpaProperties = new Properties();
    jpaProperties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", env.getProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto"));
    jpaProperties.put("hibernate.dialect"     , env.getProperty("hibernate.dialect"));
    jpaProperties.put("hibernate.show_sql"    , pgadenv.getProperty("hibernate.show_sql"));

    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    factory.setDataSource(dataSource());
    factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
    factory.setJpaProperties(jpaProperties);
    factory.setPackagesToScan("com.servmed.models");

    // factory.afterPropertiesSet(); <-- why ?
    // does it work without Weaving ?
    factory.setLoadTimeWeaver(new InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver());
    return factory;
}

EDIT (2)

I did not have time to answer you, here is a sample persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1"
  xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
 http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
  <!-- transaction-type="JTA" -->
  <persistence-unit name="persistenceUnit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

    <!-- Your probably won't need it. -->
    <!-- <class>com.servmed.models.YourClass</class> -->
    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
    <shared-cache-mode>ENABLE_SELECTIVE</shared-cache-mode>

    <properties>
      <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action"       value="none" />
      <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.action"        value="none" />
      <!-- <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.create-target" value="" /> -->
      <!-- <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.drop-target"   value=""/> -->
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

You probably won't need to list your classes (like in the commented example), otherwise list them.

And in the Spring configuration, add:

factory.setPersistenceXmlLocation("classpath:META-INF/persistence.xml");
factory.setPersistenceUnitName("persistenceUnit");

However, I'm beginning to think it might be a completely unrelated problem.

@Aissasa-You can use similar JPA Configuration class and you dont have to have any xm file also.
