Object is not getting persisted using JPA/JTA/JBOSS/CDI

问题

Please help me to understand why object is not getting persisted with following code. It throws javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: JBAS011469: Transaction is required to perform this operation (either use a transaction or extended persistence context)

public class OrganizationRepositoryImpl implements OrganizationRepository {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName="usermanagement",type=PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION)
    private EntityManager em;

    public void save(Organization organization) {
        try {
            em.persist(organization);
        }catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

        }
    }    
}

But If I annotate the class with @Stateless annotation(Now ejb), object start getting persisted

@Stateless    
public class OrganizationRepositoryImpl implements OrganizationRepository {

            @PersistenceContext(unitName="usermanagement",type=PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION)
            private EntityManager em;

            public void save(Organization organization) {
                try {
                    em.persist(organization);
                }catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                }
            }    
        }

Service class to call Repository to persist the object to the database

    public class OrganizationServiceImpl implements OrganizationService {

    @Inject
    private OrganizationRepository orgRepo;

    public Response createOrganization(InputStream is) {
        Organization org = null;
        org = readStream(is);
        orgRepo.save(org);
        return Response.created(URI.create("/organizations/" + org.getId()))
                .build();
    }

    private Organization readStream(InputStream is) {
        JAXBContext context;
        Organization org = null;
        try {
            context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Organization.class);
            Unmarshaller um = context.createUnmarshaller();
            org = (Organization) um.unmarshal(is);
        } catch (JAXBException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return org;
    }
}  

回答1:

When you declare the bean as @Stateless then the methods in that bean are by default transactional. Transactional methods commit the persistence state when fully executed.

When you don't have your class annotated with @Stateless methods are not transactional by default and hence you get the mentioned exception.

回答2:

I'm not too familiar with EJBs, but I believe the problem is that without the @Stateless annotation, the bean is not a EJB, so transactions are not automatically managed. If you need statefulness, use the @Stateful annotation to make a stateful EJB. If you do not want to use EJBs, you have to manually manage your transactions using the EntityManager like so.

tx = em.getTransaction();
tx.begin();

// do some work
...

tx.commit();
