EclipseLink (JPA) Spring - No persistence exception translators exception

I recently stumbled upon a Spring Exception while working with Spring Data JPA and attempting to deploy a WAR file on glassfish. I have a JTA datasource defined in my glassfish which is used by Spring (through JNDI) to instantiate my entity manager. The JPA configuration was pretty straight forward but every time I tried to deploy the app on Glassfish I stumbled upon the error :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No persistence exception translators found in bean factory. Cannot perform exception translation.

Apparently when using Hibernate there is an easy fix for this : Declaring a Hibernate Exception Translator in the spring beans config file :

1 2	<bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateExceptionTranslator"> </bean>

When using EclipseLink though this doesn't work... So I looked for implementations of the spring interface :

1	org.springframework.dao.support.PersistenceExceptionTranslator

And found out that there is not an EclipseLinkExceptionTranslator (as for Hibernate) but there is a EclipseLinkJpaDialect

1	org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaDialect

That implements the interface so I created a bean in the spring configuration file and I was able to deploy the app on the glassfish.

1 2	<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaDialect"> </bean>
