Spring @transactional не запускает транзакцию при тестировании с помощью JUnit4

У меня есть следующая конфигурация.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">

        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>

<!--

    on annotated classes.  transaction-manager="transactionManager"
-->
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>
</beans>

Затем, когда я запускал тесты, содержащие инструкцию insert, они генерировали сообщения об ошибках как таковые:

javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: Executing an update/delete query
    at org.hibernate.ejb.QueryImpl.executeUpdate(QueryImpl.java:47)

После долгих обсуждений я пробовал это:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:services.xml" })
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
@TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback = true)
@TestExecutionListeners(value = { DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class, TransactionalTestExecutionListener.class})
public class SimpleUnitTest {

    @Test
    public void simpleTest() throws Exception {
        System.out.println(entityManager.getTransaction().isActive());
        assertTrue(entityManager.getTransaction().isActive());
   }
}

И это не удалось. entityManager.getTransaction(). isActive() был фактически ложным.

Почему транзакция Transactional не начнет транзакцию?
