getting package org.springframework.transaction.annotation does not exist error while packaging app

Question

I am quite new in Spring world. I have developed a DAO using Spring 3.2 and Hibernate 4.1.9 but I have noticed a strange thing.

All the used dependencies related to Spri

Answer 1

The @Transactional annotation is in the spring-tx module. Include version 3.2.1 of that, and always make sure to use the same version of all Spring modules.

Answer 2

Try using all spring related dependencies of same version. I guess org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional is present in spring 3.2.0. So this should not be issue. Include spring-tx dependency for @Transactionl to work.

Answer 3

The package org.springframework.transaction is provided by the spring-tx artifact. Add the following to your pom.xml and do maven update, that should do:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
    <version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
</dependency>
