Spring 3 + JPA 2 + Hibernate application deployment fails on JBoss 5.1 and 6.0

[maxxum]

I just can't get my JPA 2 + Spring 3 + hibernate application to deploy in JBoss - neither on JBoss 5.1 nor on JBoss 6.0. The same application works fine in Jetty and Tomcat

I have read that JBoss 5.1 supports only JPA1. JBoss 6 is suppose to support 6.0.

My last error (in JBoss 6.0) was:

09:49:32,062  ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start:  name=persistence.unit:unitName=gateway-2.2.4-SNAPSHOT.war#ApplicationEntityManager  state=Create: java.lang.RuntimeException: Specification violation [EJB3  JPA 6.2.1.2] - You have not defined a non-jta-data-source for a  RESOURCE_LOCAL enabled persistence context named:  ApplicationEntityManager
    at org.jboss.jpa.impl.deployment.PersistenceUnitInfoImpl.<init>(PersistenceUnitInfoImpl.java:133) [:2.0.0]

When I look at the Persistence XSD @ http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persisten...stence_2_0.xsd, non-jta-data-source is an optional element.

              <xsd:element name="non-jta-data-source" type="xsd:string" 
                           minOccurs="0">
                <xsd:annotation>
                  <xsd:documentation>

                    The container-specific name of a non-JTA datasource to use.

                  </xsd:documentation>
                </xsd:annotation>
              </xsd:element>

What I have is a Spring based application and I use the following beans to configure my EntityManager:

     <bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"
        p:driverClassName="${db.driver}"
        p:url="${db.url}"
        p:username="${db.username}"
        p:password="${db.password}" />

and

       <bean id="jpaDialect"
          class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaDialect" />
   
    <bean id="entityManagerFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"
        p:dataSource-ref="dataSource"
        p:persistenceUnitName="${persistence.unitname}"
        p:jpaDialect-ref="jpaDialect"
        p:jpaPropertyMap-ref="jpaPropertyMap"
        p:jpaVendorAdapter-ref="jpaAdapter">
    </bean>

My persistence.xml look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
                                 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
             version="2.0" >
    <persistence-unit name="ApplicationEntityManager" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <shared-cache-mode>ENABLE_SELECTIVE</shared-cache-mode>
        <!-- Validation modes: AUTO, CALLBACK, NONE -->
        <validation-mode>CALLBACK</validation-mode>
		<properties>
			<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.SingletonEhCacheProvider" />
			<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_configuration"	value="/ehcache.xml" />
			<property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="true" />
			<property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="true" />
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
            <!-- 
                If enabled, the session will be automatically flushed during 
                the before completion phase of the transaction. 
            -->
            <property name="hibernate.transaction.flush_before_completion" value="false"/>
		</properties>        
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Why is JBoss forcing me define non-jta-data-source even though it is optional in the XSD? I am providing the datasource through Spring Binding, am I not?


Am I missing something here?

Did you manage to make it work? I have the same problem and is making me nuts
