How correctly configure transaction manager in Spring?

Im trying to save the data into PostgreSQL database, I configure my dataSource bean:
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/testdb"/>
<property name="username" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value="123"/>
<!-- <property name="initialSize" value="5"/>-->
<!-- <property name="maxActive" value="10"/>-->
</bean>
then insert them into sessionFactory
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="packagesToScan">
<list>
<value>com.nazik.domain</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL10Dialect</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
and configure transactionManager
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
</bean>
but when I start transaction using code:
#Override
public void createPerson(final Person person) {
transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback<Void>() {
public Void doInTransaction(TransactionStatus transactionStatus){
try{
createPerson(person);
}catch (RuntimeException e){
transactionStatus.setRollbackOnly();
throw e;
}
return null;
}
});
}
i have got an error:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException: Bean named 'transactionManager' is expected to be of type 'org.hibernate.SessionFactory' but was actually of type 'org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager'

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:213)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(AbstractApplicationContext.java:1160)
please explain me what am I doing wrong

I'm not completely sure since I have no way to test but at least the exception says that the configuration of 'transaction manager' receives the wrong type of parameter.
you can test this way.
<bean id = "transactionManager"
class = "org.hibernate.SessionFactory">
<property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "sessionFactory" />
</bean>
You can try to see if it is that, I leave you as an answer since I can not comment yet.
Pdt: as a personal recommendation I suggest you use JPA since it has a simpler handling of transactions

I could test this on similar setup and configuration except I am using HibernateTemplate. Since you are using Hibernate - you should be generally using HibernateTemplate or even better JPA APIs ( which can be used as Hibernate underlying JPA implementation)
You can also use #Transactional annotation rather than programatically defining your boundaries and exception handling.
My sample configuration looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</bean>
<bean
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager"

And my data saving code looks like this
#Autowired
private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;
#Transactional
public int saveUser(User user) {
int id = (Integer)this.hibernateTemplate.save(user);
return id;
}
And I can save data in database ( MySQL in my case but that is irrelevant here)

Unable to autowire spring repository beans

I continue getting the following error:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException:
No qualifying bean of type 'StorageItemRepository'
My beans.xml is set to find all - located in META-INF/beans.xml of every module resource file. My Repository class does have #Repository on it and my web.xml is definitely configured to find the bean.
It's worth noting - this working when deployed - just not for the below unit test.
My unit test:
/**
* Test for {#link StorageItemRepository}
*/
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration({"classpath:JDBCConfig.xml"})
#EnableTransactionManagement
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.app.storage.persistence.repository"})
public class StorageItemRepositoryTest {
/** {#link StorageItemRepository} */
#Autowired
private StorageItemRepository storageItemRepository;
/**
* Finds all storage items in db.
*/
#Test
public void checkFindAllItems(){
final StorageItemPersistenceModel storageItemPersistenceModel = new StorageItemPersistenceModel();
storageItemPersistenceModel.setId(1L);
storageItemPersistenceModel.setDateStored(new DateTime());
storageItemPersistenceModel.setName("Name");
storageItemRepository.save(storageItemPersistenceModel);
}
}
JDBCConfig file:

The persistence.xml is definitely fine and working so not the cause.

How are you running the unit test?
Since it is working when deployed, and not in the unit test, I am inclined to suspect that the unit test execution has a missing classpath, such as JDBCConfig.xml doesn't exist in the execution classpath

How to map specific columns in spring data jpa?

Whenever I on click submit button with some value, I want to select some columns from database and show it on my jsp page. The form is successfully submitted but I'm getting this error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to com.psc.Entity.CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntity
So I think whatever data the repository is returning is not mapped with Entity. Please suggest, how to resolve this issue?
Controller:
#RequestMapping(value = "/getCandidateDetails", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String getCandidateDetails(Model model,#RequestParam("studentmasterid") String studentmasterid){
System.out.println(studentmasterid);
List<CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntity> candidates=candidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntityRepository.findBystudentmasterid(studentmasterid);
return "payments";
}
Model looks like this:
#Entity
#Table(name = "CANDIDATEAPPEARAGAINSTADVTCODE", schema = "PSCNEPALCOMMERCIALDATABASEU1", catalog = "")
public class CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntity {
private long id;
private String advertisementcode;

private String dateofbirthinnepali;
private String documentverificationstatus;
private String examinationcenterid;
private String examresultsstatus;
private String fathername;
private Long firstcoding;
private String studentmasterid;
//getters setters//
Repository:
public interface CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntityRepository extends JpaRepository<CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntity,Long> {
#Query("select c.studentmasterid,c.advertisementcode,c.candidatefirstname from CandidateappearagainstadvtcodeEntity c where c.studentmasterid=?1")

A JPA repository usually returns the domain model. From the docs
Spring Data Repositories usually return the domain model when using query methods. However, sometimes, you may need to alter the view of that model for various reasons. In this section, you will learn how to define projections to serve up simplified and reduced views of resources.
Your repository method findBystudentmasterid will be returning a list Object[] hence the ClassCastException.If you want to get specific columns try Projections.
Chekout the docs and this answer on how to use projections.

Hibernate transaction begin and commit at the right point

I have a dao package where all my DaoClasses implements amongst others the following methode:
public class XDaoImpl implements XDao {
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
#Override
public void saveOrUpdate(MyObject o) {
//Transaction trans = getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(o);
//trans.commit();
}
}
If I run my application it needs a lot time to store my objects to the database. I belief it happens because I create a new Transaction for each object. So I tried to use Spring Framework’s xml based declarative transaction implementation. But till now it does not work for me:

It looks like you don't have the AOP jar files in your class path.
See:
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/aop.html
Look for the section "10.2.1 Enabling #AspectJ Support"

Using AOP for transactional behavior is fine. I'd suggest having a look at annotation based configuration (Note the <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />), which might be a little bit more straightforward.
Furthermore I would be careful about using this configuration. A transaction is meant to encapsulate an atomic unit of work. Having a method like saveOrUpdate(EntityType entity) I'd think your atomic unit of work was saving one entity, not saving n entities. The longer a transaction runs, the greater gets the probability of running into deadlocks.
I'd suggest creating a Method like public void saveOrUpdateInBatch(MyObject... objects). The name implies you are dealing with an atomic operation which handles a number of elements. Also you might want to optimize this method for batch inserts.

Creating persistance layer with spring/hibernate

I'm trying to create a persistance project so it can be re-used by some other projects I'm building on top. I.e it will be used by a web service/spring mvc project and by standalone jar which does some file processing.
I've used hibernate with spring mvc before but never as a standalone executable java jar so I have everything setup and working(application context) :

When I test it from main class everything looks ok with mapping/dependencies :
public static void main(String[] args) {
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("appCtx.xml");
}
What I want to do next is to build few dao classes which will get some data and I'd build some interface above that so it can be re-used by both webservice and processing tool as a jar(maven dependency).
In order to build dao classes I need sessionFactory to be != null always. How do I do this?

There are many approaches to this. One solution I use is to use the javax.persistence.PersistenceContext annotation. Spring will respect this annotation and inject a proxy to a thread local EntityManager. Provided your DAO is created by Spring this allows access to the entity manager from within your DAO.
public class DAO {
private EntityManager entityManager;
#PersistenceContext
public void setEntityManager(EntityManager entityManager) {
this.entityManager = entityManager;
}
}

#Repository
public class MyDAO {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
// ...
}
and add the MyDAO bean to the context XML file, or simply add the following lines to this file:
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="one.of.the.parent.packages.of.your.dao" />
