why EntityManager is null in spring transaction?

I wrote this code in the Service part of my java webapp project:
#Service
#Transactional
public class PersonService extends BaseService {
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
public void insert(Person person) {
entityManager.persist(person);
}
public boolean checkUserName(String userName) {
try {
System.out.println("Entity null ni");
Person person = (Person) entityManager.createQuery("select entity from person entity where entity.USER_NAME=:userName")
.setParameter("userName", userName)
.getSingleResult();
if (person == null)
return true;
else {
return false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
}
When I tried to insert a new record without using the checkUserName method, the record would be inserted correctly and entityManager was not null in this condition but when I wanted to check repetitive userName I got NullPointerException.I checked every Object in my code that could be null finally I understand entityManager is null.why entityManager is null in Spring Transaction.this is spring.xml

Maybe are you instantiating PersonService calling new PersonService() ? In this case Spring is not performing any operation and thus field 'entityManager' is null. You must get a bean from your Application Context
applicationContext.getBean(PersonService.class);
Or invoking it from a test or a controller
#RestController
#GetMapping("people")
public class PersonController() {
#Autowired
private PersonService personService;
#PostMapping
public void home(#RequestBody Person person) {
personService.insert(person);
}
}

#Transactional annotation in Spring

I have written the below code to implment the transaction management of spring using #transactional annotation. I still feel some changes are required
in my DAO layer. May I know what changes are required . Thanks in advance
#Controller
public class RestController {
#Autowired
DataServices dataServices;
#RequestMapping(value = "/v1/dist_list/{emailId}/members", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody String getDistributionListMember(#PathVariable String emailId) throws Exception, SpringException {
String retStatus = null;
retStatus = dataServices.getDistributionListMember(emailId, callerId);
]
}
}
DataServices.java
package com.uniteid.services;
import com.uniteid.model.AIWSuser;
public interface DataServices {
public String getDistributionListMember(final String emailId, final String callerID) throws Exception;
}
Below is my service layer where I added the trasactional attribute
package com.uniteid.services;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import com.uniteid.dao.DataDao;
import com.uniteid.model.AIWSuser;
#Service("dataService")
public class DataServicesImpl implements DataServices {
#Autowired
DataDao dataDao;
#Transactional
public String getDistributionListMember(String emailId, String callerID)
throws Exception {
return dataDao.getDistributionListMember(emailId, callerID);
}
}
Below is my spring-config file

It still feel I have not implemented the Transactional management properly in the below code. May I know what part of the code can be removed for me to implement it
package com.uniteid.dao;
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Types;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.jdbc.Work;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import com.uniteid.controller.RestController;
import com.uniteid.model.AIWSuser;
import com.uniteid.model.User;
public class DataDaoImpl implements DataDao
{
#Autowired
\
SessionFactory sessionFactory;
Session session = null;
Transaction tx = null;
static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DataDaoImpl.class);
public String getDistributionListMember(final String emailId, final String callerID) throws Exception {
session = sessionFactory.openSession();
tx = session.beginTransaction();
final String[] returnVal2 = { "" };
session.doWork(new Work() {
public void execute(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
CallableStatement stmt = null;
String returnVal = "";
stmt = connection.prepareCall("{?=call WS_Distributionlistmember(?,?)}");
stmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.VARCHAR);
stmt.setString(2, emailId);
stmt.setString(3, callerID);
stmt.execute();
returnVal = stmt.getString(1);
logger.info("RETURN VALUE in getDistributionListMember method :::::: " + returnVal);
returnVal2[0] = returnVal;
logger.info("Return Value " + returnVal);
stmt.close();
}
});
tx.commit();
session.close();
return returnVal2[0];
}
}

Your code:
public String getDistributionListMember(final String emailId, final String callerID) throws Exception {
session = sessionFactory.openSession();//This is bad
tx = session.beginTransaction();//This is bad
tx.commit();//This is bad
session.close();//This is bad
Correct should be:
public String getDistributionListMember(final String emailId, final String callerID) throws Exception {
session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();//good way
It is because you told spring to autowired sessionFactory and from now on spring is managing your hibernate session not you. So getCurrentSession() is correct way.
#M. Deinum Thanks to point it out.

Remove bean declaration for bean id transactionManager and set txManager instead of transactionManager in transaction-manager value. As you are using hibernate with spring so HibernateTransactionManager should be used instead of DatabaseTransactionManager to define transaction boundary. DatabaseTransactionManager is used when you directly interact with data source without using any ORM or JPA framework.
In your service class define transaction boundary for method as below annotation
#Transactional(readOnly = true, propagation = Propagation.SUPPORTS)

Spring #Scheduled does not work appropriate

I have a method that should run at some delay, make request to api and add the new photo to database. So, addPhoto is working fine. It can print some info, make a request, but doesn't add the photo. I checked the database and there are only one photo, that i added manually.
#Component("restBean")
#Service
public class RestService {
private static final String url1 = "https://api.nasa.gov/mars-photos/api/v1/rovers/curiosity/photos?sol=1324&camera=fhaz&api_key=DEMO_KEY";
private PhotoDao photoDao;
#Autowired
public void setPhotoDao(PhotoDao photoDao) {
this.photoDao = photoDao;
}
#Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000)
public void addPhoto() {
System.out.println("TIME HAS COME");
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<Response> response = restTemplate
.getForEntity(url1,
Response.class);
Photo[] photos = response.getBody().getPhotos();
this.photoDao.save(photos[0]);
}
}
I have tested this method and all works except the last string. I checked that i get the response and can get the object from it.
this.photoDao.save(photos[0]);
That's my DAO class
#Repository
public class PhotoDaoImpl implements PhotoDao {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PhotoDaoImpl.class);
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}
#Override
public void save(Photo photo) {
Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
session.persist(photo);
logger.info("Photo successfully saved. Photo details: {}", photo);
}
#Override
public Photo findOne(int id) {
Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
Photo photo = (Photo) session.load(Photo.class, new Integer(id));
logger.info("Photo successfully loaded. Photo details: {}", photo);
return photo;
}
#Override
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<Photo> getAll() {
Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
That's my spring xml configuration

NullPointerException when selecting DataSource in MultiTenant Connection Provider

I repurposed an existing hibernate-spring project and upgraded to Hibernate 4 and Spring 4 and added multiple datasources using multitenancy. The application starts fine, the datasources are being read in using the MultiTenantDataSourceLookup class. When setting the new tenant, the tenant is resolved but then I get the nullpointerexception on line 41 of MultiTenantConnectionProviderImpl(See comment for line). I'm also using GenericHibernateDAO if that helps. I can post that code by request. I'm new to spring so the problem may be a very simple one. However, if more code is needed to help me, I will be happy to share more as I troubleshoot and research the problem myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here is the full stack trace: http://pastebin.com/LjyhTwvY

spring3 - application context - bean property name and reference - null pointer exception

All - In the Spring 3.0, in the applicationContext.xml .... are we supposed to have the bean property name and the reference value to be the same ? If I give a different value, it returns null object. But on giving the same value, it works. For my project, i am supposed to give different values for them. Kindly help. bye, HS
This works: (same values)

<property name="userDelegate" ref="userDelegate" />
name is the field name in your class. When name is userDelegate, it means that WIRAdminBaseAction has a field named userDelegate (and probably a setter setUserDelegate())
ref is the bean name you want to set this field to. In your example, you should have another bean, named userDelegate or bmoUserDelegate which should be set as userDelegate in WIRAdminBaseAction.
So if you want to use the second configuration:
You just need to create a bean with id bmoUserDelegate:
<bean id="bmoUserDelegate" class="mypackage.BmoUserDelegateClass"/>
