How to configure transaction management for working with 2 different db in Spring?

Question

I have 2 databases (MySql and HSQLDB). I configured 2 data sources and 2 EntityManagerFactory beans. I can also configure 2 correspondent JpaTransactionManager beans.

Answer 1

Since its after a longtime since the correct answers.

Skaffman may be correct in terms of usability of JpaTransactionManager for multiple databases.

But there is working solution for using 2 different databases with 2 different JpaTransactionManager.

  @Bean(name = "db2TransactionManager")
  public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager2() throws NamingException {
    JpaTransactionManager txManager = new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory());
    return txManager;
  }

  @Bean
  @Primary
  public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() throws Exception {
     JpaTransactionManager txManager = new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory());
    txManager.setNestedTransactionAllowed(true);
    return txManager;
  }

@Primary should be used to specify for the ones where you don't specify qualifier name in @Transactional
