Maven 2: Spring and JTA dependencies

Lucio Benfante — Sat, 26 Nov 2005 09:06:00 -0600

Few weeks ago I started using Maven 2 for one of my development projects. The project is very simple, but it has dependencies with some external libraries, in particular with Spring:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.6</version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Introducing this dependency I had the following errors:

Downloading: ->
    http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/transaction ->
      /jta/1.0.1B/jta-1.0.1B.jar
[WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository central ->
    (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
...
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

required artifacts missing:
 javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B

This happened because Spring has a transitive dependency with the Sun’s JTA classes, but the JTA jar can’t be inserted in the Maven repository because the Sun’s Binary License.

For solving this dependency you have to download the jta-1_0_1B-classes.zip file from the Sun’s site and install it into your local repository using the following command:

mvn install:install-file \
  -Dfile=./jta-1_0_1B-classes.zip \
  -DgroupId=javax.transaction \
  -DartifactId=jta -Dversion=1.0.1B \
  -Dpackaging=jar

no luck at mvnrepository.com. jar file can be downloaded here: http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-jta_1.1_spec/1.1.1/

that will teach me not to preview! the pom fragments are as follows:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
            <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
              <exclusion>
                <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
                <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
              </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

and

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
    <artifactId>geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

N.B. the above approaches of directly injected into your cache or including a different maven server will make our project unportable to other developer workstations as they will have to hack their settings.xml to get things to work. instead you can do the following:

configure maven to include hibernate artifacts but not the dependency to jta. particularly if you are going to deploy to a container that will provide the class itself you will have to do nothing else. use the following syntax:

org.hibernate hibernate-entitymanager ${hibernate.version} javax.transaction jta

if you are actually going to compile against jta then use the geronimo implimentation of the jta library that does not have a liciensing issue.

org.apache.geronimo.specs geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec 1.1.1

simply go to mvnrepository.com and search for geronimo-jta to find the correct version of the jta spec to include for your project.

happy coding.

Henriks hint at the java.net repository was a very welcome addition. Just add it to your repositories element:

<repository>
    <id>java.net</id>
    <name>java.net</name>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
</repository>
