Getting Transaction not successfully started exception using Spring Hibernate

Question

I have a UserProfile entity which I need to save. after saving the entity in the database, I get the following exception:

Could not commit Hibernate transaction;         


        

Answer 1

Could also be a conflict between org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate and org.hibernate.Session.

If you are working on an old project you could find HibernateTemplate being used.

If you create a new DAO with a newer way of doing things, like hibernate's Session, and use both DAOs on the same function, you will find this error.

Solution: Use one or the other. In my case I had to use HibernateTemplate in order not to change all ther rest of an old program.
