hibernate.connection.autocommit = true не работает

Question

Я создаю новый проект Java, который подключается к Oracle XE ...

Я настроил persistence.xml следующим образом: <property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit" value="true" />

Но в моем DAO, если я не использую em.getTransaction().begin(); и em.getTransaction().commit();, мои сущности не сохраняются ...

Как я могу использовать только em.persist(entity);?

UPDATE

Моя настойчивость. Xml

В моем DAO я внедряю entityManager с GoogleGuice ...

@Inject
private EntityManager em;

Мой GuiceModule это ...

@Singleton
private static class JPAInitializer {
    @Inject
    public JPAInitializer(final PersistService service) {
        service.start();
    }
}

@Override
protected void configure() {

    install(new JpaPersistModule("simpleRestApplication"));
    bind(JPAInitializer.class).asEagerSingleton();

}
