Hi,

What is the status of Hibernate Service when using with JBoss, either 3.2.2 or 4.0.0DR2 ?

If I put in my hibernate-service.xml the following line :

...
<attribute name="UserTransactionName">java:/UserTransaction</attribute>
...

I got this error ( from JBoss server.log ) :
...
... net.sf.hibernate.TransactionException: Could not find UserTransaction in JNDI: : UserTransaction not bound
...

If I code like this :
...
<attribute name="UserTransactionName">java:/TransactionManager</attribute>
...

I got this error :
...
... java.lang.ClassCastException ???
...

So, what is the correct configuration ?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem.

In jboss jmx-console the UserTransaction is in the global section not the java:/ section, so I tried changing the line in the jboss-service.xml of the sar example from the hibernate.org site

from:

<attribute name="UserTransactionName">java:/TransactionManager</attribute>

to:

<attribute name="UserTransactionName">TransactionManager</attribute>

and it appears to work.

Take this with a grain of salt because i'm stumbling around in the dark at the moment (i'm transitioning from web-apps to ejb).

good luck

Oops

I cut and pasted the wrong line of your example, i meant

from:
<attribute name="UserTransactionName">java:/UserTransaction</attribute>

to:
<attribute name="UserTransactionName">UserTransaction</attribute>


leave the transactionManager alone :)

cheers
