#Transactional doesn't update records using HQL or SQL - sql

Question

I am using transactional annotation in order to enable auto-commit in Oracle DB.
When I use criteria to update records, I get the record updated successfully. But when I use HQL or SQL, in the console the query is printed but doesn't execute
This is Notification DAO
#Repository("SystemUserNotificationDao")
public class SystemUserNotificationDaoImpl extends AbstractDao<BigDecimal, SystemUserNotification> implements SystemUserNotificationDao {
#Override
public Number setNotificationsAsSeen() {
Query query = createHqlQuery("update SystemUserNotification set seen = 1 where seen = 0");
return (Number)query.executeUpdate();
}
}
This is the service
Service("SystemUserNotificationService")
#Transactional
public class SystemUserNotificationServiceImpl implements SystemUserNotificationService {
#Autowired
SystemUserNotificationDao systemUserNotificationDao;
#Override
public Number setNotificationsAsSeen() {
return systemUserNotificationDao.setNotificationsAsSeen();
}
}
This is the AbstractDao
public abstract class AbstractDao<PK extends Serializable, T> {
private final Class<T> persistentClass;
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public AbstractDao() {
this.persistentClass = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) this.getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[1];
}
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
protected Session getSession() {
return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public T getByKey(PK key) {
return (T) getSession().get(persistentClass, key);
}
public void persist(T entity) {
getSession().persist(entity);
}
public void update(T entity) {
getSession().update(entity);
}
public void saveOrUpdate(T entity) {
getSession().saveOrUpdate(entity);
}
public void delete(T entity) {
getSession().delete(entity);
}
protected Criteria createEntityCriteria() {
return getSession().createCriteria(persistentClass);
}
protected SQLQuery createSqlQuery(String query) {
return getSession().createSQLQuery(query);
}
protected Query createHqlQuery(String query) {
return getSession().createQuery(query);
}
}
I tried to add transaction.begin and commit but it gives me nested transactions not supported
#Override
public Number setNotificationsAsSeen() {
// Query query = createHqlQuery("update SystemUserNotification set seen = 1 where seen = 0");
Transaction tx = getSession().beginTransaction();
Query query = getSession().createQuery("update SystemUserNotification set seen = 1 where seen = 0");
Number n = (Number)query.executeUpdate();
tx.commit();
return n;
}

The issue was with SQL developer tool. there were uncommitted changes, I closed the dev tool and the update query worked fine
