Not allowed to create transaction on shared EntityManager - use Spring 
transactions or EJB CMT

DAOImpl code

public void create(Project project) {
        entityManager.persist(project);
        entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
        project = entityManager.find(Project.class, project.getProjectId());
        entityManager.refresh(project);
        System.out.println("Id    -- " + project.getProjectId());
            System.out.println("no -- " + project.getProjectNo());

Solution

  • I guess the problem here is that although you have defined the bean for the transaction manager, you haven't annotated the create() method with @Transactional which enables spring transactions.

    Also remove the entityManager.getTransaction().commit(); statement as now all the transaction management will be handled by spring, if you leave the statement as it is then you will get the same error again.
