Can only perform operation while a transaction is active

I am using OpenJPA in cxf(jax-rs) + Struts 2. No external transaction manager. Why am I getting "Can only perform operation while a transaction is active."?

My persistence.xml is 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" version="2.0"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">

    <persistence-unit name="myPU"
        transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

        <class>com.bb.bba.entity.Advertisement</class>
        <class>com.bb.bba.entity.Poi</class>

        <properties>
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" />
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionURL" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/bba;create=true" />
            <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema" />
            <property name="openjpa.DynamicEnhancementAgent" value="false" />
            <property name="openjpa.RuntimeUnenhancedClasses" value="supported" />
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionUserName" value="APP" />
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionPassword" value="asdasd" />
            <property name="openjpa.Log" value="SQL=TRACE"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

I am getting the following error.

This means that your application will be less efficient and will consume more memory than it would if you ran the OpenJPA enhancer. Additionally, lazy loading will not be available for one-to-one and many-to-one persistent attributes in types using field access; they will be loaded eagerly instead.

Here I am

Solution

  • The problem is solved. I was using resource_local which means I am responsible for the transaction. Adding em.getTransaction.begin solved the issue.
