Hibernate mysql innodb

Question

I wanted to force hibernate to use innodb.

So, i changed the "hibernate.dialect" in order to have innodb, but i can connect to mysql, but when i do some transactions i have the following error:

org.springframework.transaction.TransactionSystemException: Could not commit JPA transaction; nested exception is javax.persistence.RollbackException: Transaction marked as rol lbackOnly at org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager.doCommit(JpaTransactionManager.java:465) at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.processCommit(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:709) at org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.commit(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.java:678) at org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAspectSupport.commitTransactionAfterReturning(TransactionAspectSupport.java:321) at org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor.invoke(TransactionInterceptor.java:116) at org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethodInvocation.proceed(ReflectiveMethodInvocation.java:171) at org.springframework.aop.framework.JdkDynamicAopProxy.invoke(JdkDynamicAopProxy.java:204) at $Proxy46.deleteAsset(Unknown Source)

here is my persistence.xml:

Do you have any idea ?

Answer 1

Using the MySQL5InnoDBDialect just tells Hibernate to add "ENGINE=InnoDB" when generating DDL during schema export, nothing more. I'm not sure existing tables will be altered though. So if you have existing tables using MyISAM, you may have to alter them manually.
