using getSession() instead of hibernateTemplate

[Jack Punt]

Firebrick,
I don't know where that property came from...
But you are right! removing that, the transaction management works!
(some hibernate example from way back, i suppose; but debunked here)

I hope that encourages you to find the solution to your problem.

Thank you (and Marten, whom I'm sure will also spot that problem when the sun again rises in Netherland)

Well the sun rose about 2 hours ago here . Indeed I spotted the culprit (as I already suspected that is why I asked for your configuration files).

Good luck in further migrating and completing your application.
