Spring, Jboss AS7, Hibernate 4 - call to persist won't commit

[Luciane Araujo]

Hi guys,

I have and app with Spring, JBoss AS7 and Hibernate 4. For some reson, everything seem to work fine. I can even query the database. But, when I call persist on my entityManager, nothing happens. It looks like it is not commiting transactions on the database. I've already played around with the @Transactional annotation initially put only on the top of my Service class.
Please, guys. Any help or suggestion is more then welcome!


Here go my config files for persistance:

How are you loading your configuration (post your web.xml if you have that). Make sure you are scanning only once for components not multiple times (also note that you can put a , seperated list in the base-package attribute, saves you a couple of elements).

[Luciane Araujo]

Hi Marten,

Thank you for the advice about the base-package, didn't know that.

Here it is my web.xml:

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code that way it remains readable...

Canyou also post your mvc-context.xml....

[Luciane Araujo]

Sorry... In the hurry I forgot the code tag.
Thank you for the attention and help.
Here it goes the mvc-context:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="br.com.ekoimpacto.ekobin.general" />
    
    <context:component-scan base-package="br.com.ekoimpacto.ekobin.device" />
    
    <context:component-scan base-package="br.com.ekoimpacto.ekobin.user" />
    
    <context:component-scan base-package="br.com.ekoimpacto.ekobin.material" />

    <mvc:annotation-driven />

    <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>

    <mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/WEB-INF/static/" />

    <mvc:default-servlet-handler />

</beans>

[Marten Deinum]

And there is your problem... You are duplicating your bean instances, both the ContextLoaderListener as well as the DispatcherServlet instantiate the same beans, the last one without transactions and those are the beans being used. This has been explained on the forum before so you might want to do a search...

But in short, your ContextLoaderListener should scan for everything BUT (@)Controllers and your DispatcherServlet should only scan for (@)Controllers.

[Luciane Araujo]

Exactly! It is really nice when you know what to look for. 2 days wasted, affff...

Anyway, thank you very much!
