@Transactional in Spring+Hibernate

I an using Spring 3.1 + Hibernate 4.x in my web application. In my DAO, i am saving User type object as following

sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(user);

But getting following exception:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: save is not valid without active transaction

I googled and found similar question on SO, with following solution:

   Session session=getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
   Transaction trans=session.beginTransaction();
   session.save(entity);
   trans.commit();

That solves the problem. But in that solution, there is lot of mess of beginning and committing the transactions manually.

Can't i use sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(user); directly without begin/commit of transactions manually?

I try to use @Transactional on my service/dao methods too, but the problem persists.

EDIT : Here is my Spring Config File:

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

        </property>
    </bean>

</beans>

I am using following Hibernate 4 dependencies:

<!-- Hibernate Dependency -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
            <version>4.1.1.Final</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>cglib</groupId>
            <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
            <version>${cglib.version}</version>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>

Please help.

Basically what needs to be done is to remove from the applicationContext.xml file the following line for Hibernate properties:

<prop key="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</prop>

Once that is remove, Hibernate makes use of Spring for transaction management

Good luck to you all.

i think you are using Hibernate 4.x then why you are using hibernate 3 transaction manager in application context file?

<bean id="txManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory">
        <ref bean="sessionFactory" />
    </property>
</bean>

i think it should be

<bean id="txManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory">
        <ref bean="sessionFactory" />
    </property>
</bean>

just try to use hibernate 4 transaction manager along with @Transactional attribute it should work.
