My configuration was like this. I had a QuartzJob , a Service Bean , and Dao . as usual it was configured with LocalSessionFactoryBean (for hibernate) , and SchedulerFactoryBean for Quartz framework. while writing the Quartz job , I by mistake annotated it with @Service , I should not have done that because I was using another strategy to wire the QuartzBean using AutowiringSpringBeanJobFactory extending SpringBeanJobFactory.
So what actually was happening is that due to Quartz Autowire , TX was getting injected to the Job Bean and at the same time Tx Context was set by virtue of @Service annotation and hence the TX was falling out of sync !!
I hope it help to those for whom above solutions really didn't solved the issue. I was using Spring 4.2.5 and Hibernate 4.0.1 ,
I see that in this thread there is a unnecessary suggestion to add @Transactional annotation to the DAO(@Repository) , that is a useless suggestion cause @Repository has all what it needs to have don't have to specially set that @transactional on DAOs , as the DAOs are called from the services which have already being injected by @Trasancational . I hope this might be helpful people who are using Quartz , Spring and Hibernate together.
