Spring @Transactional not creating required transaction

Question

Ok, so I\'ve finally bowed to peer pressure and started using Spring in my web app :-)...

So I\'m trying to get the transaction handling stuff to work, and I just can\'t

Answer 1

In my case:

Using JPA with Spring MVC - all of my tests and code ran fine without error - symptom was that commits would simply not save to the database no matter what I tried.

I had to add to my applicationContext.xml and cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar aopalliance-1.0.jar

Definitely the fix in my case. Without annotation-driven Spring will not scan for the @Transactional annotation
