Spring applicationContext.xml cheat sheet for creating transaction manager for resource local persistence unit

Spring 3.0.5 + Hibernate 3.4.0

Approach 1

Specify Connection properties in persistence.xml

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence 
                         http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"
        version="1.0">

     <persistence-unit name="hibernate-resourceLocal" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
         <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
         <properties>
             <!-- Connection properties -->
             <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" />
             <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/c:\derbydb\mydb" />
             <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="APP" />
             <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="APP" />

             <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect" />
             <!-- create-drop, create -->
             <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
             <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
             <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
             <property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit" value="true" />
         </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

applicationContext.xml

     <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">

     </bean> 
 
</beans>

Approach 2

Specify Connection properties in applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee"
        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

     <context:component-scan base-package="com.demo.dao" />

     <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
         <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
         <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="default"/>
         <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
             <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
                 <property name="showSql" value="true"/>
                 <property name="generateDdl" value="true"/>
                 <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect"/>
             </bean>
         </property>
     </bean>

         <property name="password" value="APP"/>
     </bean>
 
     <tx:annotation-driven/>
 
     <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
         <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
     </bean>
</persistence-unit>

The persistence.xml is all but empty.

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence 
                         http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"
        version="1.0">
     <persistence-unit name="default"/>
</persistence>
