Configuring transactions with Neo4J 1.7 - old way no longer working!

[eugenparaschiv]

Hi,
I have just upgraded to Neo4J 1.7 and the old way of configuring transactions (still present in the 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT docs) doesn't seem to work any more:

<property name="userTransaction">
   <bean class="org.neo4j.kernel.impl.transaction.UserTransactionImpl">
      <constructor-arg ref="graphDatabaseService" />
   </bean>
</property>

The UserTransactionImpl no longer has that constructor:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'org.neo4j.kernel.impl.transaction.UserTransaction Impl#105c552f' defined in file [...]: Could not resolve matching constructor (hint: specify index/type/name arguments for simple parameters to avoid type ambiguities)

Is the new way of configuring the transactions documented somewhere? Also, should the main docs be updated?
Thanks.
Eugen.

Sorry this was a breaking change in Neo4j 1.7 (which will be reverted in 1.8).

Could you temporarily change it to this EL construct:

<bean  class="org.neo4j.kernel.impl.transaction.UserTransactionImpl">
   <constructor-arg value="#{graphDatabaseService.txManager}" />
</bean>

No worries,
I solved it like this:

<bean id="springTransactionManager" class="org.neo4j.kernel.impl.transaction.SpringTransactionManager">
	<constructor-arg ref="graphDatabaseService"/>
</bean>
<bean id="userTransaction" class="org.neo4j.kernel.impl.transaction.UserTransactionImpl">
	<constructor-arg ref="springTransactionManager"/>
</bean>
<bean id="neo4jTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
	<property name="transactionManager" ref="springTransactionManager"/>
	<property name="userTransaction" ref="userTransaction"/>
</bean>

Thanks.
