Spring Data Neo4j transactions mixed with Hibernate transactions

[akorotenko]

I found this to be quite problematic also. It took me some time to figure out what was going wrong.

In the end I settled on this solution for the ChainedTransactionManager

Hi, does it work with JPA?
I've tried ChainedTransactionManager with org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransa ctionManager but it works only with "read" operations. Any attempt to write something to DB produces an error

 [org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: 
Could not open Hibernate Session for transaction; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already value [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.SessionHolder@13122a1] for key [org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl@580334] bound to thread [btpool0-3]]

My configuration

	<bean id="hbTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
		<property name="sessionFactory" ref="prodSessionFactory" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="chainedTM" class="org.springframework.data.neo4j.transaction.ChainedTransactionManager">
		<constructor-arg>
			<list>
				<ref bean="hbTransactionManager" />
				<ref bean="jcrTransactionManager" />
				<ref bean="xaTransactionManager" />
			</list>
		</constructor-arg> 
	</bean>

Thanks in advance
