No bean named 'transactionManager' is defined

Question

I have configured two persistent units with the entity managers set up as show below:

<bean id="liveEntityManagerFactory"            class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"           p:dataSource-ref="LiveDataSource">                      <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="LivePersistenceUnit" />     </bean>      <bean id="archiveEntityManagerFactory"            class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"           p:dataSource-ref="ArchiveDataSource">                      <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="ArchivePersistenceUnit" />     </bean> 

I then configured the transaction managers as

 <bean id="LiveTransactionManager"           class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager"           p:entityManagerFactory-ref="liveEntityManagerFactory"/>      <bean id="ArchiveTransactionManager"           class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager"           p:entityManagerFactory-ref="archiveEntityManagerFactory"/>   

I originally had just one configured and it was called "transactionManager". Addint an additional persistent unit seems to generate an error. One thing i dont understand, if i configured two persistent units (each for a separate database) do i also need to configure an individual entity manager and a transaction manager for each datasource?

The error that i get is shown below: (I have search all file and i cant find anywhere where there is a reference for "transactionManager")

I am using Spring with Jpa/Hibernate.

Thanks

Answer 1

The default value for the transaction-manager attribute is transaction-manager. In your case, you should specify which transaction manager you want to use per method or service like this:

@Service @Transactional(value="LiveTransactionManager")  class someClass... 

or

@Transactional(value="ArchiveTransactionManager")  public void someMethod

Actually, there is a way to use named TransactionManager with Spring Data JPA. This works for me:

<bean id="myTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">     <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="myEntityManagerFactory" /> </bean> <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="myTransactionManager"/>  <jpa:repositories base-package="com.xxx.yyy" entity-manager-factory-ref="myEntityManagerFactory" transaction-manager-ref="myTransactionManager"> </jpa:repositories>
