I have configured the applicationContext.xml as follows for stateful JPA persistance session - jpaSingleSessionCommandService :
<drools:ksession id="jpaSingleSessionCommandService" type="stateful" kbase="flowKnowledge"> <drools:configuration> <drools:jpa-persistence> <drools:transaction-manager ref="transactionManager" /> <drools:entity-manager-factory ref="entityManagerFactory" /> <drools:variable-persisters> <drools:persister for-class="javax.persistence.Entity" implementation="org.drools.persistence.processinstance.persisters.JPAVariablePersister"/> <drools:persister for-class="java.io.Serializable" implementation="org.drools.persistence.processinstance.persisters.SerializableVariablePersister"/> </drools:variable-persisters> </drools:jpa-persistence> </drools:configuration> </drools:ksession> <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"> <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" /> <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="rascalflow-persistence" /> <property name="persistenceProvider"> <bean class="org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence" /> </property> <property name="jpaVendorAdapter"> <bean id="jpaVendorAdapter" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter"> <property name="database" value="ORACLE" /> <property name="showSql" value="true" /> </bean> </property> </bean> <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean" p:dataSource-ref="dataSource"> <property name="hibernateProperties"> <value> hibernate.connection.driver_class=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update hibernate.show_sql=true hibernate.max_fetch_depth=3 hibernate.format_sql=true hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect </value> </property> </bean> <bean id="sharedEntityManagerBean" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.SharedEntityManagerBean"> <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" /> </bean> <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager" p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory" /> When i tried to start the application, i have got Null pointer exception from drools ...Error creating bean with name 'jpaSingleSessionCommandService': ... i know this is something to do with the parameter transaction manager in drools configuration tag... but i have no clue why this error is occuring or any soln.... It might be the configuration that i have done was incorrect, someone please go through the above configuration and let me know where exactly that I am doing the mistake.... Basic runtime exception is : Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not commit session at org.drools.persistence.session.SingleSessionCommandService.<init>(SingleSessionCommandService.java:135)
