Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B ( Issue was different as you may see the resolution is different)

Question

I am trying to learn Hibernate-Spring-Struts using the example Struts 2 + Spring + Hibernate integration example.

But after creating the pom.xml getting this error :

Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B

I made a progress only up to creating the pom.xml file and made the changes to include most recent libraries.

Here is my pom.xml:

I tried with and without dependency for javax.transation. Did not make difference. Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong ? What should I do to get rid of it?

Answer 1

The error in your pom.xml because you mess up different versions of Struts core and plugins.

Change

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
    <artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.15.2</version>
</dependency>

I don't know why do you need JTA 1.0.1B but you could change hibernate to 3.3.2 (at least, without headaches)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.2.ga</version>
</dependency>

it has a recommended dependency for JTA 1.1.

Create a new project from pom.xml then add source files to it.

Answer 2

In my case i tried example from mkyong

jsf-2.0 spring hibernate integration example

When i got the exception i searched alot i was using spring sts suit tool , and eclipse MARS with JDK 8 the solution was

I changed pom to 1.1 instead of 1.0.1B

<dependency>
            <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
            <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
            <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

And if it could not be downloaded automatically from m2 repo you should download it manualy (you can check this in the repo in folder C:\Users\pc1\.m2\repository\javax\transaction\jta\1.1\jta-1.1.jar )

and check the maven dependency in project properties it should not give you an error in the lib tab.

Answer 3

Which repository are you using?

Add the java.net Maven repository as below.

<repository>
    <id>java.net</id>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
</repository>

Answer 4

This repo worked for me:

   <repository>
           <id>webpublico-repository</id>
                <name>Webpublico Nexus Repository</name>
                <url>http://repository.webpublico.com.br/repository/maven-public/</url>
