Mule JPA persist is not inserting or updating - mule

Question

I am using Mule JPA module for retrieving and insert/updating data. I can able retrieve data but not able to update the DB. Its giving no errors and as per the log it seems that the record got updated. But :( If I check DB no recorded is getting inserted.
I believe that the transaction is not getting committed.
Please help me how to achieve this issue.
Here is my mflow

Answer 1

Here your console shows :- Hibernate: insert into contact (EMAIL, FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME) values (?, ?, ?) and your payload is :- {"firstName":"king","lastName":"verma","email":"vermaS#xxx.com","id":9} ... where this id:"9" will be accommodated ? your query has 3 fields firstname,lastname and email ..where as your payload contains firstname,lastname,email and id

Answer 2

Finally could able to commit transaction using MULE JPA transport, by creating CustomTransactionFactory which starts the transaction.
public class CustomTransactionFactory implements TransactionFactory{
#Override
public Transaction beginTransaction(MuleContext muleContext)
throws TransactionException {
EntityManagerFactory emf = muleContext.getRegistry().lookupObject("entityManagerFactory");
TransactionFactory tf = new JPATransactionFactory();
Transaction tx = tf.beginTransaction(muleContext);
tx.bindResource(emf, emf.createEntityManager());
tx.begin();
return tx;
}
#Override
public boolean isTransacted() {
return true;
}
}
By referring custom transaction manager in In-bound endpoint as below, we can achieve flow level transactions.
<flow name="jpa_exampleFlow1" doc:name="jpa_exampleFlow1">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" doc:name="HTTP" address="http://localhost:9090/jpa_example">
<custom-transaction action="ALWAYS_BEGIN" factory-ref="transctionManager"/>
Note: Transactional blocks are no more required.
