Does Spring actually start a new transaction with REQUIRES_NEW?

My spring (4.1.1) application is deployed on a JBoss-6.10-final instance, so it uses the container-based transaction manager and data sources. For messaging, I use TIBCO EMS 8.1 with an XA queue connection factory set up. The Java version is 1.8.0_20. All of this is running on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop.
I need to send a request via JMS and then wait for the reply. The bean I’m calling from has transaction propagation set to Propagation.REQUIRED, so I need to send the request in a new transaction and then wait for the reply. This means the request is sent in a separate bean with transaction propagation set to Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW.
It works, but I’m getting a worrisome warning from JBoss:
14-10-02 12:06:12,902 WARN

After looking at the stack trace, I opened the source for Spring’s AbstractPlatformTransactionManager and came across the following code for handing of REQUIRES_NEW (starting at line 415):
if (definition.getPropagationBehavior() == TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW) {
if (debugEnabled) {
logger.debug("Suspending current transaction, creating new transaction with name [" +
definition.getName() + "]");
}
SuspendedResourcesHolder suspendedResources = suspend(transaction);
try {
boolean newSynchronization = (getTransactionSynchronization() != SYNCHRONIZATION_NEVER);
DefaultTransactionStatus status = newTransactionStatus(
definition, transaction, true, newSynchronization, debugEnabled, suspendedResources);
doBegin(transaction, definition);
prepareSynchronization(status, definition);
return status;
}
catch (RuntimeException beginEx) {
resumeAfterBeginException(transaction, suspendedResources, beginEx);
throw beginEx;
}
catch (Error beginErr) {
resumeAfterBeginException(transaction, suspendedResources, beginErr);
throw beginErr;
}
}
My question is: where is a new transaction being started?
On the surface it looks like the existing transaction is being used instead of a new one being started - see how 'transaction' is being passed to doBegin(...). I looked in doBegin as well, and there is no indication of a new transaction being requested or created. This view appears to be supported by the stack trace and warning I get from JBoss...

Happy to see that I'am not alone stuck in this ligthless hole...
As far as I got it, the deep cause of this warning is described here (end of the thread)
when the outer transaction is suspended and the new inner transaction
started, the managed connection that Jboss connection pool retrieves
for the inner transaction is the same as that of the outer
transaction, which is causing the IllegalStateException to get thrown!
and is due to a specific behavior of the jboss JCA contract implementation (Lazy JCA enlistment).
A defect has been opened on spring side, flagged as "won't fix" but they provide a workaround configuration :
The typical solution is to use Spring's
TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy and switch the
"reobtainTransactionalConnections" flag to "true" there
Have fun !

Spring RPC with hessian over HTTP works fine on maven tomcat plugin, but return http 500 error on Tomcat server

I work with Spring RPC with hessian over HTTP, it works fine when I tried it on maven tomcat-plugin(Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.29, Java 7).
But after I packaged it with maven-war plugin and deployed on a tomcat server.(I have tried both 6.0.36 and 7.0.37), the RPC call returns 500 error.
I'm not sure what's the difference between these two usage of tomcat. RPC call is from same procedure to it's HTTP service, I mean they use same code. Two parameters are both String.
I have tried to add a MIME-TYPE as "application/x-hessian" to tomcat server, 500 is still there.
Anyone knows what's wrong with my tomcat server?
update question:
Thank you #Ralf, you are right, the old log didn't show the server error, I added new logs.
The server side log shows error about HessianProtocolException, and I found a method to resolve this: down grade the hessian version to 3.1.5, now the RPC works.
But, the question is still there, why when I use 4.0.33, the tomcat started by maven plugin works fine, the stand alone tomcat shows error?
My interface is
public interface RemoteMessage {
public boolean callMethod(String number, String content);
}

Remove spring-remoting dependency. It conflicts with latest version of hessian library. I faced the same problem & after googling I found this HessianConnectionException: (HTTP) 500 error when using Hessian 4.0.7 & Spring 3.1.1 .

Try this command:
mvn clean install -DskipTests

can we use hasPermission secution expression in xml config of spring?

Could we use something like this in spring configuration xml file :
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" >
<intercept-url pattern="/hardcopy/*" access="isAuthenticated() and hasPermission('tw')" />
</http>
Look above at the code and line where it says hasPermission in access attribute. Could it be used like that?

PLease any suggestions with the error?

You don't have to check if the user isAuthenticated() it is enough to check for the respective user role. because without being authenticated the user wouldn't have any grantedAuthorities in the securitycontext.
Also it is enough to just list the roles like this:
access="ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN"
Edit:
To come back to this. Technicaly what you wanted to do is not wrong. You can use the methods and also chain them together. This link provides all expressions Spring security has built in for that purpose: http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/reference/el-access.html
If you use own methods i don't know how it is handled since I haven't felt the need to look into it.

Spring transaction that uses JPA throws Exception during AfterCompletion phase

I have a web application that uses the Spring Framework (3.1) and persistence through JPA (2.0) backened by Hibernate (4.1.1)
Hibernate Search is also enabled (4.1 RC). Hibernate's Second Level cache is Infinispan (5.1.3).
I also use Infinispan as Lucene (3.5) Directory Provider (for Hibernate Search).
Everything runs over XA transactions, with Bitronix (2.1.2) as JTA manager.
I have methods annotated with #Transactional. When the method ends, and the transaction commits, the following exception occurs:

You'll notice the Hibernate class "SynchronizationRegistryImpl". This one holds a set of javax.transaction.Synchronization objects. What I think is happening is that Hibernate itself is registered as a Synchronization in this set. So,
After commit, two events fire: beforeTransactionCompletion and afterTransactionCompletion.
beforeTransactionCompletion goes well.
afterTransactionCompletation starts and the method notifySynchronizationsAfterTransactionCompletion is called.
This method calls afterCompletion on each of the Synchronization elements of the Set.
One of the item in the set (not the last) is an Hibernate item, which calls some clean up.
This clean up empties the Set.
ConcurrentModificationException is thrown because the set was cleaned while it was being iterated.
Maybe I have configured Hibernate incorrectly. My Spring XML are too big to be put here. Luckily some of you guys have an idea of why this is happening.
More data (which may or may not be useful) to establish context:
Other of the items in the Synchronization set belongs to Hibernate Search.
The database datasource is PostgreSQL.
I'm using XA because there is also an ActiveMQ JMS in the transaction, and at first Infinispan was set as a XA resource too (now it hooks to the JTA Synchronization).
Spring Security is enabled.
Hibernate connects to JTA by CMTTransactionFactory.
I'm not sure if the PersistenceContext is "transactional" or "extended", but from debugging it looks like the latter.

It turned out that there was more Infinispan configuration needed, that I didn't know it existed.
In the transaction tag (under default configuration), even though I set up the transanction manager lookup, I had to explicity add the attribute transactionMode="TRANSACTIONAL".
I was also using the default configuration for the caches that Hibernate uses, their names are: entity, local-query, and timestamp. There is a file named infinispan-configs.xml located in the hibernate-infinispan.jar that helps to setup the desired configuration.
UPDATE: disregard this answer. The issue appeared again, and it's this bug.

Spring/Hibernate: InvocationTargetException when deleting entity

I'm sorry if this question is a bit vague, but I'm quite confused.
I've got a controller that calls a service to delete an entity and then create an entity in its place. In the service, I've got my DAO, and my entity, and I want to delete my entity, so I call
DAO.delete(entity);
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I get an InvocationTargetException. The parameters here are:
method: public org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController.replaceEntity(org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
target: tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController#185918e
args: [org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartFile#14812a6, org.springframework.web.multipart.support.DefaultMultipartHttpServletRequest#c08a64]
ex: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
and the place it fails is in the following Spring code
private Object doInvokeMethod(Method method, Object target, Object[] args) throws Exception {
ReflectionUtils.makeAccessible(method);
try {
return method.invoke(target, args);
}
catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
ReflectionUtils.rethrowException(ex.getTargetException());
}
throw new IllegalStateException("Should never get here");
}
Does anyone have a suggestion to what's going on? Anything I can use in my debugging?
UPDATE:
Here's the stacktrace:

UPDATE 2: Well, this stacktrace didn't have the other failures, so stacktrace updated. Now, as you suggested, the answer becomes clear, there's another object with the same ID, and that is true. In my logic just before the delete, the following happens:
MyEntity instance = new MyEntity();
fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
MyEntity tmpInstance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
if(tmpInstance == null) myEntityService.create(instance);
else {
// Exists already, so force by deleting old entity first
myEntityService.delete(instance);
myEntityService.create(instance);
}
Is this what's causing there to be a second entity in the session? Because I don't think I've associated the new entity with the HibernateSession when I delete the old entity I'm replacing.
Cheers
Nik

The exception has to do with how hibernate stores objects in it's Session and where you've set your transaction boundaries. I'm assuming that the transaction boundary is around the code posted in "Update 2". When you ask hibernate to delete something, it doesn't execute the query right then. Rather, it queues up that query for execution the next time the Session is flushed to the database. Inserts are done the same way. This allows Hibernate to batch up similar queries for efficieny reasons.
Typically the session is flushed when the transaction is committed. The initial request for the object stores that object by id in the Hibernate session, and the delete marks that object for deletion when the 'delete' method is called. When you try to associate a new object with the same id, Hibernate doesn't know what to do at this point and throws an exception. It seems to me that there are two possibilities for how to handle your particular situation.
Explicitly flush the Session after the delete. You may also need to call 'evict' as well, I don't recall if flush() does this automatically or not.
Change the logic of your code to something like this:
MyEntity instance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
if (instance == null) {
instance = new MyEntity();
}
fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
myEntityService.save(instance); // calls saveOrUpdate() method
By updating the object returned from the 'read' method, you're updating the object that Hibernate already knows about. The 'saveOrUpdate' method knows how to perform either an UPDATE statement on the object or a new INSTANCE, based on whether the object in question is already in the Hibernate session.
