Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager'

[Alex1]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a runnable jar file with all depentencies. I use the onejar Plugin[1].
But wenn i start it i get the following error:

java -jar '/home/axi/Documents/workspace-sts-2.6.1.RELEASE/AppDataDownload/target/AppDataDownload-0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.one-jar.jar'

For me it looks like the persistence.xml is not found .. But why?

Thanks,

Hey Alex,

I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I'm in the same now you were in 1.5 years ago... And I can't for the life of me find a solution.

I'm trying to make a runnable Jar that can do DB connectivity.

I'm wondering if you ever sorted this out?

Here's my error:

Ok some progress on this... If I add the following line to my applicationContext.xml, I can now get the persistence.xml to load from my jar file...

Now the problem with persistenceUnit not found only happens inside Eclipse, but if I comment out that line it works in Eclipse but not outside... so at least I can use that to work around the issue, even if I can't finally solve it completely.
