Hibernate + Spring in Rich Client App

[lakomy_j]

I tried to use hibernate + spring in Rich Client App.

I used beans definitions exactly like in my Web App

 	<bean id="dataSource"
		class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
		<property name="driverClassName">
			<value>org.postgresql.Driver</value>
		</property>
		<property name="url">
			<value>jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/catalog_db</value>
		</property>
		<property name="username">
			<value>postgres</value>
		</property>
		<property name="password">
			<value>postgres</value>
		</property>
	</bean>
 	
	<!-- Hibernate SessionFactory -->
	<bean id="sessionFactory"
		class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
		<property name="dataSource">
			<ref local="dataSource" />
		</property>
		<property name="mappingResources">
			<list>
				<!--
				<value>hibernate/Schedule.hbm.xml</value>
				-->

			</list>
		</property>
		<property name="hibernateProperties">
			<props>				
				<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.default_schema">CATALOG</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
			</props>
		</property>
	</bean>


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

but Application Context initialization throws exception :

org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory defining beans [dataSource,sessionFactory]; root of BeanFactory hierarchy}
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [hibernate/applicationContext.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/TransactionManager

Why my web solution doesn't work in rich client app?

Please help!

Take a look at this post:
http://forum.springframework.org/arc...hp/t-9574.html
and check jta.jar file existence.

[lakomy_j]

jta.jar was missing

Thanx for the help

Why do you need jta.jar? You only configure a local data source rather than getting one through JNDI - which is typically used in a J2EE context way to have JTA transaction manager. Meanwhile, you only have HibernateTransactionManager rather than JtaTransactionManager, so I don't know why you got exception trying to locate a JTA transaction manger. It doesn't make sense to me. Why?

[karldmoore]

If you have a look at the Hibernate lib readme.txt.

jta.jar (unknown)
- Standard JTA API
- runtime, required for standalone operation (outside application server)

[kkus]

Although readme.txt specifies it, curiously where is code in HibernateTransactionManager to invoke JtaTransactionManager? Or how is JtaTransactionManager invoked in a standalone app (out of app server context)? From that exception info, I can't find stack trace to call JtaTransactionManager.

[karldmoore]

As I said, this isn't a Spring dependency. This is in the Hibernate lib readme.txt.

I found it under hibernate lib folder, but what I want to figure out is call hierarchy from HibernateTransactionManager to place where JtaTransactionManager is invoked in a standalone environment.
