org.hibernate.HibernateException: Current transaction is not in progress after migrate to Hibernate 5

Question

I have a class file, CBRTask.java

In this CBRTask.java, I have some code as follow:

@Autowired
private CbrService cbrService;

public CBRPayment execute() {

   try {
        cbrService.sendCR( this.entity );
        // If I manually throw Exception here, no problem in catch
   catch (Exception exception) {
   // do something to call db, but hit error
   }
}

And then In my CbrService class：

I throw exception

throw new Exception();

Then this will catch in CBRTask.java, and then cause the db calling hit error.

Suppose it should not happen. Because this code is working fine in Hibernate 3. After I migrate to hibernate 5, then only hit.

Here is the error log:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Current transaction is not in progress
    at org.hibernate.context.internal.JTASessionContext.currentSession(JTASessionContext.java:81)
    at org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl.getCurrentSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:721)

And if I manually throw the Exception in CBRPayment class, and catch in the same place, the problem wont happen.

Answer 1

Its actually not because of upgrading of Hibernate 3 to Hibernate 5. But its about the transaction manager. Before this, I was using WebSphereUowTransactionManager, where this thing will auto creating new transaction everytime after catch an exception.

When I come to Jboss environment, I am using JTATransactionManager, not sure why this manager will using back the existing transaction even there is a transaction being catch.

What I do is, change the GlobalRollbackOnParticipationFailure to false.
