How to configure Spring for using TransactionManager

Question

I'm trying to understand how to use Spring DataSourceTransactionManager.

I'm trying to follow this example. But, when I start Tomcat from Eclipse, I get this error:

This is the relevant code of DispatcherServlet.xml

   <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">          
             <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
         </bean>    

        <tx:advice id="txAdvice" transaction-manager="transactionManager">
            <tx:attributes>
                <tx:method name="create" />
            </tx:attributes>
        </tx:advice>

        <aop:config>
            <aop:pointcut id="userDaoTxPointcut" expression="execution(* com.springgestioneerrori.DAO.UtenteDAO.salvaUtente(..))" />
            <aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut-ref="userDaoTxPointcut" />
        </aop:config>

salvaUtente() is the method where I'll handle multiple inserts (now is still exmpty).

If it is annotated with `@Transactional` then why on earth do you have xml based tx configuration? Remove the `tx:advice` and `aop:config` and add `tx:annotation-driven` instead. The error has to do with a missing dependency on your classpath (probably aspectjrt.jar or aspectjweaver.jar) — M. Deinum, Nov 12 '14 at 11:03
Sorry, I was editing another post and I forgot to delete that sentence, I have not annotation actually. Anyway, i added aspectj-1.6.9 to my classpath and I get the same error. — MDP, Nov 12 '14 at 11:22

A jar is missing in your classpath:

<dependency>    
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
    <version>${aspectjweaver.version}</version>    
</dependency>

@MatteoDepasquali You need aspectj**weaver**. See http://stackoverflow.com/q/11446893/1225328. – sp00m Nov 12 '14 at 12:35
