I found the solution! When using JPA in Spring you have to tell the JPA
provider how to find the JTA transaction manager in persistence.xml :
For GlassFish's built-in TopLink Essentials (JPA RI) :
<properties>
<property name="toplink.target-server" value="SunAS9"/>
</properties>
For Hibernate Entity Manager :
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class"
value="org.hibernate.transaction.SunONETransactionManagerLookup"/>
</properties>
Nowhere on the Internet will you find a complete example on how to
create a Maven2 project to be run on GlassFish that uses the built-in
JTA and JPA providers, and only swap out EJB for Spring 2.5.5. Also how
to get the unit test environment set up for this. Soon I am going to
write a GlassFish Users FAQ and blog entry on how to do this.
Thanks,
Ryan
