Bean property 'transactionManagerBeanName' is not writable or has an invalid setter method

Question

I am trying to configure Spring3 + JPA using Hibernate, but I am getting an exception while spring tries to create a Bean called TransactionInterceptor, the exception is attached. Any help is welcome. I am sending my app-config.xml, my persistence.xml and the error stack trace below:

My app-config.xml

Answer 1

The TransactionInterceptor does not contain a setter for the transactionManagerBeanName, only for the Transaction manager instance and the transaction attributes.

Answer 2

Very strange, got a new pom.xml from on example project (spring + jpa) and I could get it working. Seems that some dependency was missing.
