JdoDaoSupport with Annotation Based Config

[natewallman]

I'm trying to extend JdoDaoSupport in a DAO using an Annotation based config and I am running into issues. My DAO is setup like this:

@Repository
@Transactional
public class UserDao extends JdoDaoSupport {

	public void persist(Object object) {
		getJdoTemplate().makePersistent(object);
	}
}

My applicationContext.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
	xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd

	<!-- Scans our classes for annotations which describe our beans and how they're wired together -->
	<context:component-scan base-package="com.llama.domain" />	
	
	<!-- Allows annotation based transactions with @Transactional see UserDao for example. -->
	<tx:annotation-driven />	
        	
	<!-- BEGIN JDO Persitence Configuration -->
	<bean id="persistenceManagerFactory"  class="org.springframework.orm.jdo.LocalPersistenceManagerFactoryBean">
		<property name="persistenceManagerFactoryName" value="transactions-optional" />
	</bean>	
	<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jdo.JdoTransactionManager">
		<property name="persistenceManagerFactory" ref="persistenceManagerFactory" />
	</bean>
	<!-- END JDO Persitence Configuration -->
</beans>

And I'm getting an exception complaining about how the PersistenceManagerFactory is not set. Here is the exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: persistenceManagerFactory or jdoTemplate is required

Apparently the setPersistenceManagerFactory method is never called with the annotation based config I am using. Do I have other choices beside just using an xml based config for these DAO classes?

Create a constructor which takes the PersistenceManagerFactory and then set it on the super class. That way it will be injected.

That doesn't work. Spring demands a ctor with no parameters for @Repository.

[Marten Deinum]

No it doesn't, not if you put an @Autowired in there... I suggest a read of the reference guide....

[bytemaster]

That wasn't in your original post. Here's how it can be done:

    @Autowired
    public UserDatoDao(PersistenceManagerFactory pmf)
    {
	setPersistenceManagerFactory(pmf);
    }
