I am getting below exception when running a groovy testcase. I use hibernate 5.4.14 and Spring version 4.3

javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: Executing an update/delete query at org.hibernate.internal.AbstractSharedSessionContract.checkTransactionNeededForUpdateOperation(AbstractSharedSessionContract.java:413) at org.hibernate.query.internal.AbstractProducedQuery.executeUpdate(AbstractProducedQuery.java:1608) at com.test.portal.example.service.CleanDataSpecification.cleanup(CleanDataSpecification.groovy:35)

Here is the transactionManager Configuration  
\<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager=“exampleTM” /\>

```
      <bean id="exampleSF"
         class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">  
        <qualifier value="example"/>
       <property name="dataSource" ref="exampleDS"/>
       <property name="hibernateProperties">
    <props>
