EntityManager is always NULL using SpringFramework

Good day,

I've been currently working on a Maven + Spring + Hibernate project. Actually, this is just a test project just to get familiar on how Spring works with Hibernate (+Maven). I've already setup and prepare the necessary dependencies. i.e. the appcontext.xml for Spring, the persistence.xml for Hibernate, the entity and DAO objects for JPA/Persistence/Hibernate.

During debug, it's observed that the EntityManager is always null. I don't know what's causing this because I've done the ff:

Autowire it on my controller
Declared it as a bean on my applicationContext.xml
Annotate my DAO object as @Repository
Defined entityManagerFactory, transactionManager and vendorAdapter as beans on my applicationContext.xml

I've been debugging and trying workarounds all day. Unfortunately, I haven't resolve this yet. Hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

Below are the codes and configurations of my project:

<--- Sample class controller --->

package com.msh;

@Transactional
public class Sample {
    @Autowired
    private TblFileinfo tinfo;
    private TblFileinfoHome tinfoh;

    public Sample()
    {
        tinfo = new TblFileinfo("c:/jayson/murillo/pryde.exe", "uv_win32");
        tinfoh = new TblFileinfoHome();
    }

    public void persist()
    {
        tinfoh.persist(tinfo);
    }
}

Again, hope someone can provide feedback on this. Thanks in advance!

回答1:

You do not load your Spring context in your main class :

public class MavenSpringHibernate {

    /**
     * @param args
     */

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ApplicationContext context =
                new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"classpath:/PATH/TO/applicationContext.xml"});

        Sample s = context.getBean(Sample.class);
        s.persist();
    }
}

回答2:

You aren't even starting Spring!

Sample s = new Sample();

Sample is a Spring bean. You must first start the application context and fetch the bean from there. See @nico_ekito's answer:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ApplicationContext context =
         new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:/applicationContext.xml");
    Sample s = context.getBean(Sample.class);
    s.persist();
}

Once you start the context (which will probably result with some errors), correct the following:

Remove this:

tinfoh = new TblFileinfoHome();

annotate field with:

@Autowired
private TblFileinfoHome tinfoh;

you should not be autowiring entity class:

@Autowired                //remove this annotation
private TblFileinfo tinfo;
