Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B ( Issue was different as you may see the resolution is different)

Question

I am trying to learn Hibernate-Spring-Struts using the example here.

But after creating the pom.xml getting this error :

Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B

I made a progress only up to creating the pom.xml file and made the changes to include most recent libraries. Here is my pom.xml:

I tried with and without dependency for javax.transation. Did not make difference. Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong ? What should I do to get rid of it?

Answer 1

In my case i tried example from mkyong

jsf-2.0 spring hibernate integration example

When i got the exception i searched alot i was using spring sts suit tool , and eclipse MARS with JDK 8 the solution was

I changed pom to 1.1 instead of 1.0.1B

<dependency>
            <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
            <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
            <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

And if it could not be downloaded automatically from m2 repo you should download it manualy (you can check this in the repo in folder C:\Users\pc1\.m2\repository\javax\transaction\jta\1.1\jta-1.1.jar )

and check the maven dependency in project properties it should not give you an error in the lib tab.
