public class JpaInterceptor
extends JpaAccessor
implements MethodInterceptor

This interceptor binds a new JPA EntityManager to the thread before a method call, closing and removing it afterwards in case of any method outcome. If there already is a pre-bound EntityManager (e.g. from JpaTransactionManager, or from a surrounding JPA-intercepted method), the interceptor simply participates in it.

Application code must retrieve a JPA EntityManager via the EntityManagerFactoryUtils.getEntityManager method or - preferably - via a shared EntityManager reference, to be able to detect a thread-bound EntityManager. Typically, the code will look like as follows:

 public void doSomeDataAccessAction() {
   this.entityManager...
 }

Note that this interceptor automatically translates PersistenceExceptions, via delegating to the EntityManagerFactoryUtils.convertJpaAccessException method that converts them to exceptions that are compatible with the org.springframework.dao exception hierarchy (like JpaTemplate does).

This class can be considered a declarative alternative to JpaTemplate's callback approach. The advantages are:

The drawback is the dependency on interceptor configuration. However, note that this interceptor is usually not necessary in scenarios where the data access code always executes within transactions. A transaction will always have a thread-bound EntityManager in the first place, so adding this interceptor to the configuration just adds value when fine-tuning EntityManager settings like the flush mode - or when relying on exception translation.

setExceptionConversionEnabled

public void setExceptionConversionEnabled(boolean exceptionConversionEnabled)
Set whether to convert any PersistenceException raised to a Spring DataAccessException, compatible with the org.springframework.dao exception hierarchy.

Default is "true". Turn this flag off to let the caller receive raw exceptions as-is, without any wrapping.
