Unable to access TransactionManager or UserTransaction after updating to Hibernate 5

I just updated from Hibernate 4.2.19 to Hibernate 5.1.2. Of course, little it is to say that things are not going as planned. After solving several issues (among which JOIN FETCH had to be replaced by JOIN), I now run into the next issue:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'idolConfig': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.resource.transaction.backend.jta.internal.JtaPlatformInaccessibleException: Unable to access TransactionManager or UserTransaction to make physical transaction delegate

The logs show that the JtaPlatform could not be loaded:

I do not have a persistence.xml file. Here is my spring.xml:

EDIT:

Adding the following to the bean properties did not solve my issue (I also downgraded to Hibernate 5.0.0 but still the problem persists):

<prop key="hibernate.transaction.coordinator_class">org.hibernate.resource.transaction.backend.jta.internal.JtaTransactionCoordinatorBuilderImpl</prop>

This also didn't work:

<prop key="hibernate.transaction.coordinator_class">jta</prop>

This also deleting 

<prop key="javax.persistence.transactionType">jta</prop>

but this failed as well.

Solution

  • As explained in the User Guide:

    Hibernate tries to discover the JtaPlatform it should use through the use of another service named org.hibernate.engine.transaction.jta.platform.spi.JtaPlatformResolver.

    If that resolution does not work, or if you wish to provide a custom implementation you will need to specify the hibernate.transaction.jta.platform setting.

    Try providing the underlying JTA platform via the hibernate.transaction.jta.platform configuration property.
