java - No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here -

What about this error? "There is no session to be hibernate for the thread, and the configuration does not allow the creation of non-transactions here ". My Spring Config File Looks Like This

All DAO tests pass when I test them using a junit outside the container. When I place it in jboss as a portal app, I get this exception. Apart from this, it works fine if I remove the portal specific configuration and make it a simple web app and keep it on jboss. Any ideas?

You defined a TransactionManager in your Spring Config, but you executed a hibernate query in that method Trying to do is not transactional, try adding to your method or transaction in class.
