Spring 3.0.5 + Hibernate 3.6.0.Final - No Hibernate Session bound to thread

[forumqry]

Hello all...

I am trying to develop an application using Spring & Hibernate, but seem to be doing something wrong. I have tried searching the forum but have not found what I was missing... here is the whole story..

1. I created a DAO with @Transactional Attribute as follows

@Transactional(readOnly = true, isolation = Isolation.REPEATABLE_READ, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
	public List<E> findAll() {
		return this.getSession().createQuery("from " + this.entityClass.getName()).list();
	}

where getSession is a helper method...

public Session getSession() {
		if ((this.sessionFactory == null) || this.sessionFactory.isClosed()) {
			throw new IllegalAccessError(
					"Session Factory is either not initialized or is closed");
		}
		return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
	}

2. In my configuration... I have

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="txManager"/>
    
    <bean id="txManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
        <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
    </bean>
    
    <bean class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor"/>
    
    <jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/bvdb"/>
    
    <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.company.model" />
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <value>
                hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect
              hibernate.current_session_context_class=org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.SpringSessionContext
                hibernate.show_sql=true
            </value>
        </property>
    </bean>

It looks as though I am missing something really basic... Any suggestions?

Thoughts anyone??

Problem Solved...!!!!!

The issue seems to be the location of the @Transactional annotation. I had the annotation placed in an abstract class which for some reason did not work. As soon as I moved the annotation to the child (concrete) class, everything worked as expected.

It would be nice, if someone can explain why the annotation did not work in the generic abstract class.
