Hibernate and Clob Handling

[hucmuc]

In my unit test of the dao I was able to save an object with standard fields without a problem. When I added a Clob field, I get the following exception:

"Active Spring transaction synchronization or jtaTransactionManager on LocalSessionFactoryBean plus active JTA transaction required" (thrown from class org.springframework.orm.hibernate.support.Abstract LobType"

Why do I need a transaction manager to handle a clob?

There are resources which need to be cleaned up. This can't happen unless you synchronize to the transaction, at the end of which an automatic cleanup can happen.
