InvalidIsolationLevelException: Standard JPA does not support custom isolation levels - use a special JpaDialect for your JPA implementation
02 January 2014
In this article we will see how to fix InvalidIsolationLevelException: Standard JPA does not support custom isolation levels - use a special JpaDialect for your JPA implementation.
The problem
As the exception clearly states, Standard JPA does not support custom isolation levels, so when we use an isolation level that is different from the default we will get the following exception:

The solution
In order to solve this problem we must implement a custom JPA dialect which is described in detail in the following article: Spring - Change transaction isolation level example.
