Transaction Management in Spring 3.x and Hibernate 4

Question

Hi I have faced a wall while I was trying to do transaction management using Spring 3.x and Hibernate 4.
I\'ve searched on the Internet but there were ways to do this in Hi

Answer 1

XMLBean factory is deprecated, I'd recommend using annoations and the latest and greatest spring version if you can (the testing features of spring 3.2 are great). It would simplify things a bit for you, the dao/repository could have this

@Resource(name = "sessionFactory")
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
 public T save(final T o) {
        return (T) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(o);
    }

Which itself could then be injected, and yr config add this :

 <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>
