[java] Spring - No EntityManager with actual transaction available for current thread - cannot reliably process 'persist' call

This error had me foxed for three days, the situation I faced produced the same error. Following all the advice I could find, I played with the configuration but to no avail.

Eventually I found it, the difference, the Service I was executing was contained in a common jar, the issue turned out to be AspectJ not treating the Service instantiation the same. In effect the proxy was simply calling the underlying method without all the normal Spring magic being executed before the method call.

In the end the @Scope annotation placed on the service as per the example solved the issue:

@Service
@Scope(proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.INTERFACES)
@Transactional
public class CoreServiceImpl implements CoreService {
    @PersistenceContext
    protected EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public final <T extends AbstractEntity> int deleteAll(Class<T> clazz) {
        CriteriaDelete<T> criteriaDelete = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder().createCriteriaDelete(clazz);
        criteriaDelete.from(clazz);
        return entityManager.createQuery(criteriaDelete).executeUpdate();
    }

}

The method I have posted is a delete method but the annotations affect all persistence methods in the same way.

I hope this post helps someone else who has struggled with the same issue when loading a service from a jar
