Committ problems with @Transactional annotations

[Rapthor]

Hello folks,

I am currently trying to implement annotation-based transactions with Spring 2.x and Hibernate with Oracle. So far I configured the <tx:annotation-driven>-tag and the corresponding transaction manager:

    <!-- transaction manager -->
    <bean id="transactionManager"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation"
            value="classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml" />
    </bean> 

Every service class implementation has a @Transactional annotation attached:

@Transactional
public class UserServiceImpl ......

All read operations have "@Transactional(readOnly=true)".

When using the services to persist some entity there seems to be no problem:

Hibernate: insert into SCHEMA.USER ...........

... however the data is not committed to the database. There is no new entry! Where to configure the commit command?
