Spring JPA and persistence.xml
- by bmw0128
I'm trying to set up a Spring JPA Hibernate simple example WAR for deployment to Glassfish.
I see some examples use a persistence.xml file, and other examples do not.
Some examples use a dataSource, and some do not. So far my understanding is that a dataSource is not needed if I have:
<persistence-unit name="educationPU"
transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<class>com.coe.jpa.StudentProfile</class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"
value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/COE" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root" />
<property name="show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
I can deploy fine, but my EntityManager is not getting injected by Spring.
My applicationContext.xml:
<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="educationPU" />
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" />
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
<bean id="StudentProfileDAO" class="com.coe.jpa.StudentProfileDAO">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="studentService" class="com.coe.services.StudentService">
</bean>
My class with the EntityManager:
public class StudentService {
private String saveMessage;
private String showModal;
private String modalHeader;
private StudentProfile studentProfile;
private String lastName;
private String firstName;
@PersistenceContext(unitName="educationPU")
private EntityManager em;
@Transactional
public String save()
{
System.out.println("*** em: " + this.em); //em is null
this.studentProfile= new StudentProfile();
this.saveMessage = "saved";
this.showModal = "true";
this.modalHeader= "Information Saved";
return "successs";
}
My web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
Are there any pieces I am missing to have Spring inject "em" in to StudentService?
