No bean named 'transactionManager' is defined - Rename transactionManager

Question

Im running a unit test under jUnit4 + spring4 and the thing is: my transactionManager is not called "transactionManager", it is called "transactionManagerActiviti". If I change the name everything is fine.

I tried with this and this very similar question but I can't find the solution to this simple rename issue.

activiti.cfg.xml

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

<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">
   <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSourceActivitiLocal" />
   <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
   <property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true" />
   <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" />

   <property name="customPostDeployers">
      <list>
         <bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
      </list>
   </property>
</bean>

java class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"file:src/test/resources/activiti.cfg.xml"})
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="transactionManagerActiviti")
public class CreditApplicantTest
{
   @Test
   public void deployProcess() 
   {
     ...
   }
}

log

Beans have an ID and a name have you tried setting the name attribute? — Ashley Frieze, Mar 04 '15 at 17:20
Can you post the part of your activiti.cfg.xml where you define your processEngineConfiguration bean? — Gergely Bacso, Mar 04 '15 at 17:57
@GergelyBacso activiti.cfg.xml updated and realized that transactionManager property is wrong! So I changed the ref to ref="transactionManagerActiviti" and now everything is ok. Would you like to answer so I can accept as the best answer? — E_d, Mar 04 '15 at 19:16

Ok, so according to the logs your processEngineConfiguration bean has a propery called transactionManager. That is what you need to rename to get rid of this problem.
