Spring boot + Hibernate + JPA No transactional EntityManager available

Question

I am using spring boot 1.2.3.RELEASE version with JPA over hibernate. I am experiencing following exception

org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageExce         


        

Answer 1

I still got the No transactional EntityManager available exception even after annotating my search() method with @Transactional.

I followed this tutorial which describes how to set up Hibernate search in Spring Boot.

The issue for me was that I had a different dependency on hibernate-search-orm. The dependency which worked for me without any problems was

compile("org.hibernate:hibernate-search-orm:5.7.0.Final")

After adding this to the gradle build file, everything worked as expected.

Hope this helps someone else as well.
