I have also tried to set hibernate.transaction.jta.platform to org.hibernate.engine.transaction.jta.platform.internal.SunOneJtaPlatform but it results in the same error.
EJB CMT´s are working fine.
The Create action is called from a commandButton:
<p:commandButton value="Create" process="#this type" update=":megaMenuForm:mainMenu" actionListener="#{menuBean.create()}" oncomplete="closeMenuDialog(xhr, status, args)"/>

See EJB specs if you want to manage transaction. Inject a resource UserTransaction.
Also #Transactional with not do anything here since you are using EJB.
In general you example should work, and #Transactional annotation will be just ignored. Could you try to make an interface, and call create method through it?
Looks like you are using EJB 2 style coding, but Glassfish 4 implements EJB 3.1, so it is better to go with a new one.

Initial SessionFactory creation failed.javax.persistence.PersistenceException

I am doing web application.I found many questions with same problem
Like this question
But I didn't get correct answer. My folder structure and class path everything is correct but why this Exception occurring really I don't know.
Below is my folder structure. Here persistence.xml file is within META-INF folder of src folder
My Persistance.xml:

static {
try {
emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jspWithJpa");
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static EntityManagerFactory getEmf() {
return emf;
}
}
Exception Is:
Initial SessionFactory creation failed.javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named jspWithJpa
Mar 2, 2014 11:16:08 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [com.action.InsertData] in context with path [/jspWithJpa] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root cause
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named jspWithJpa

Change your provider tag to in persistence.xml to:
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
from your libs i can see that you're using eclipselink as JPA provider, not hibernate.

How to update entity in JPA

This is my first real exposure to JPA and I'm trying to run the simplest of update statements. I'm running inside a jBoss 7.1.x server using Hibernate as JPA implementation. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Here is my producer method for EntityManager:
#ApplicationScoped
public class EntityManagerProducer
{
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
#Produces
#RequestScoped
public EntityManager getEntityManager()
{
return entityManager;
}
}
Here is the DAO method that tries to perform the update:
#Inject EntityManager em;
public void updateRequestStatus(String requestNumber, String newStatus)
{
em.getTransaction().begin();
ServiceRequestEntity serviceRequestToUpdate = em.find(RequestEntity.class, requestNumber);
requestToUpdate.setStatus(newStatus);
em.merge(serviceRequestToUpdate);
em.getTransaction().commit();
}
Here is persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="database" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<jta-data-source>java:/jdbc/myDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="false" />
<property name="hibernate.use_sql_comments" value="true" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Here is the error message (can provide full stacktrace if needed -it chokes on the "merge" line):
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: JBAS011469: Transaction is required to perform this operation (either use a transaction or extended persistence context)
....

#Inject annotation on EntityManager I don't think will work. With your current setup I believe you want to inject your EntityManagerProducer class (which is not used in your DAO), and then call your getEntityManager method on it.
The other option would just be to use the #PersistenceContext in your DAO.
You also may want to specify the name of your persistence context as specified in your persistence.xml like:
#PersistenceContext(name="database")

An application using EJB 3.0 and Hibernate persistence provider gives an UnknownServiceException

I am trying to create a web app using JSF and EJB 3.0.
I am using plain JSF, Glassfish Server, Hibernate as my persistance provider. My database is apache derby.
Here my Stateless Session bean as follows:
#Stateless
#TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)
public class StudentServiceBean implements StudentService{
#PersistenceContext(unitName="forPractise")
private EntityManager entityMgr;
#Resource
private SessionContext sessionContext;
#Override
public List<StudentVO> fetchStudentListOrderByStudentId(boolean flag){
List<StudentEntity> studentList = null;
TypedQuery<StudentEntity> studentQuery = null;
List<StudentVO> studentVOList = null;
String queryDesc = "select s from StudentEntity s order by s.studentId desc";
String query = "select s from StudentEntity s order by s.studentId";
try{
if(!flag){
studentQuery = entityMgr.createQuery(query,StudentEntity.class);
}else{
studentQuery = entityMgr.createQuery(queryDesc,StudentEntity.class);
}
studentList = studentQuery.getResultList();
studentVOList = new ArrayList<StudentVO>();
for(StudentEntity studentE : studentList){
studentVOList.add(new StudentVO(String.valueOf(studentE.getStudentId()),studentE.getStudentName(),studentE.getContactNumber()));
}
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(" EXCEPTION IN "+this.getClass().getName()+" in method fetchStudentListOrderByStudentId "+e);
}
return studentVOList;
}
And this is my persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="forPractise" transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<jta-data-source>jdbc/app</jta-data-source>
<class>com.entity.StudentEntity</class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.SunONETransactionManagerLookup" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
What happens is on load of the JSP page, the getter method of StudentList is called -
inside the getter method I have written logic that if studentList is empty then call the studentService.fetchStudentListOrderByStudentId(true);.
But when I do this I get an exception:
EXCEPTION IN com.bb.StudentServiceBean in method
fetchStudentListOrderByStudentId
org.hibernate.service.UnknownServiceException: Unknown service
requested
[org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider]
Can you please tell me what I am missing, or where I am going wrong?
Thanks.

You indicate that you are using Hibernate 4.x, but the class you mentioned afaik is only valid for JPA 1.0 and Hibernate 3.x. Try removing the following line from your configuration:
<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.SunONETransactionManagerLookup" />

Just in case it's of any interest, I got this error on Jetty when trying to start a Hibernate session:
Unknown service requested [org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider]
The root cause was a previous Exception (a few seconds earlier in the logs) which caused the spring context (WebAppContext) to fail to initialize.
Once I fixed the spring context, the "Unknown service requested" fixed itself. So, if you're seeing this error it's worth checking for earlier errors before investigating too much..

Is there a non-commercial Hibernate query checker?

We are using Hibernate at my workplace on some project and I had to modify some queryes recently. I found it really cumbersome to modify a query, run an ant smart or ant refresh and see whether my query works. When I asked one of my colleagues he told me that it is the way we use it.
Do you have any idea how can I speed up this process? I'm looking for a tool which can connect to a database (we are using PGSQL) and run my Hibernate query there and show the results without touching ant.
For example I would be able to try this:
#Query(query = "SELECT DISTINCT l FROM Line l, IN(l.workplaces) w WHERE w.workshop.sid=:wsid", params = "wsid")

JBoss Tools for eclipse has a HQL editor that you can open from the hibernate perspective, you can test hql queries there.

We have a junit-Test for hibernate which uses the derby database as a in-memory databse. This will create the database in derby with all tables and you should be able to execute the query, to see if it is valid.
We have all queries in the orm.xml, so those queries are already checked when creating the EntityManager.
setup
private static EntityManagerFactory emf;
private static EntityManager em;
#BeforeClass
public static void before()
{
emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("persistenztest");
em = emf.createEntityManager();
}
test
#Test public void test()
{
Query q = em.createQuery(YOUR_QUERY_HERE);
List<?> list = q.getResultList();
}
