@Transactional is not starting a transaction in standalone application

Question

I have created following example . But I am not getting the expected result. Here is my code :

1.application.properties

################### JDBC Configuration ##########################
jdbc.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:file:db/hsqldb;shutdown=true
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=


################### Hibernate Configuration ##########################
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
hibernate.show_sql=true
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update
hibernate.generate_statistics=true

2. DatabaseConfig.java

/**
 * 
 * load Hibernate Session factory to get session ,load Hibernate Transaction
 * Manager to deal with transaction
 * 
 */

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class DatabaseConfig {

    @Value("${jdbc.driverClassName}")
    private String driverClass;
    @Value("${jdbc.url}")
    private String url;
    @Value("${jdbc.username}")
    private String username;
    @Value("${jdbc.password}")
    private String password;
    @Value("${hibernate.dialect}")
    private String dialect;
    @Value("${hibernate.show_sql}")
    private String showSQL;
    @Value("${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}")
    private String hbm2ddl;

    @Bean
    public Properties hibernateProperties() {

        Properties hp = new Properties();
        hp.put("hibernate.dialect", dialect);
        hp.put("hibernate.show_sql", showSQL);
        hp.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", hbm2ddl);
        hp.put("hibernate.current_session_context_class", "thread");
        return hp;

    }

    @Bean
    public DataSource driverManagerDataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource ds = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        ds.setDriverClassName(driverClass);
        ds.setUrl(url);
        ds.setUsername(username);
        ds.setPassword(password);
        return ds;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory() {
        LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        sessionFactoryBean.setDataSource(driverManagerDataSource());
        sessionFactoryBean.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());
        sessionFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.orbit.hibernate.entities" });

        return sessionFactoryBean;
    }

    @Bean
    @Autowired
    public HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        HibernateTransactionManager tm = new HibernateTransactionManager(sessionFactory);
        return tm;

    }

}

3. AppConfig.java

/**
 * 
 * This class has all the beans required at application level
 * 
 */
@Configuration
@Import(DatabaseConfig.class)
@ComponentScan("com.orbit")
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean
    public static PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer propertyPlaceHolderConfigurer() {
        PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer pphc = new PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer();
        pphc.setLocation(new ClassPathResource("application.properties"));
        pphc.setIgnoreUnresolvablePlaceholders(true);
        return pphc;
    }
}

4.User.java

@Entity
public class User {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private long id;

    private String name;

    public long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

5. UserRepository.java

@Repository
public class UserRepository {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void save() {
        User u = new User();
        String random = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        u.setName("mks" + random);
        Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        session.persist(u);

    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public List<User> getAll() {
        Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        Query q = session.createQuery("FROM User");
        List<User> users = q.getResultList();
        return users;
    }
}

6. UserService.java

@Service
@Transactional
public class UserService {

    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepo;

    public List<User> getAllUser() {
        return userRepo.getAll();
    }

    public void save() {
        userRepo.save();
    }
}

7. AppLaunch.java

public class LaunchApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AppConfig.class);
        UserService userService = ctx.getBean(UserService.class);
        userService.save();
        userService.save();
        System.out.println("Printing all user");
        List<User> user = userService.getAllUser();
        user.forEach(System.out::println);
        ctx.close();
    }
}

when I run AppLaunch.java class . following execption occurs :

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: persist is not valid without active transaction

here is my pom.xml :

Answer 1

try to remove this property and run again.

hp.put("hibernate.current_session_context_class", "thread");
