Transaction Manager for Sun ONE App Server 7

cvaille · **Posted:** Thu Aug 28, 2003 3:45 pm

Hi,

I try to setup and use Hibernate with the Sun ONE Application Server 7.
There is no Hibernate Transaction Manager for Sun ONE Application Server 7.
Could you provide it ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Chris.

Sorry, you'll have to do some research and find out how to obtain the TM in Sun ONE. (I've no idea.)

Then we can add a SunONETransactionManagerLookup

What info do you need from the Server7 to create the SunONETransactionManagerLookup ?

The TransactionManager from the javax.transactionManager package is located in the sunONE Server 7's appserv-ext.jar file.

I need to know where the TM is at runtime. The J2EE spec gives me know way to do this portably. Most (but not all) appservers keep it in JNDI somewhere.

have a look in net.sf.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup, etc.

Gavin,

Not sure if this was ever resolved. I'm also using Sun ONE App Server 7 and I've looked up the JNDI context as suggested. The values seem to be the same as the JBoss values and so I'd like to propose this:

Code:

package net.sf.hibernate.transaction;

/**
 * TransactionManager lookup strategy for Sun ONE Application Server 7
 * @author Robert Davidson
 */
public class SunONE7TransactionManagerLookup extends JNDITransactionManagerLookup {

   protected String getName() {
      return "java:/TransactionManager";
   }
   
   public String getUserTransactionName() {
      return "UserTransaction";
   }
}

Looks good. Add it to JIRA.

Robert,

I tried to look up the Sun ONE App Server 7 transaction manager the way you suggested, however I didn't succeed. I used your SunONE7TransactionManagerLookup implementation (only the package differs in my environment). Additionally I specified the following properties and added them to my hibernate configuration object. Moreover I set these properties as VM -D options.

properties.setProperty("hibernate.jndi.url", "iiop://<myhost>:3700");
properties.setProperty("hibernate.jndi.class", "com.sun.appserv.naming.S1ASCtxFactory");
properties.setProperty("hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class", SunOneTransactionManagerLookup.class.getName());
properties.setProperty("hibernate.transaction.factory_class", JTATransactionFactory.class.getName());

The app server reports the following to the console:

WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound to name java:/TransactionManager
WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: at com.sun.enterprise.naming.NamingManagerImpl.lookup(NamingManagerImpl.java:796)
WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: at com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.lookup(javaURLContext.java:127)
WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: at net.sf.hibernate.transaction.JNDITransactionManagerLookup.getTransactionManager(JNDITransactionManagerLookup.java:23)
WARNING: CORE3283: stderr: ... 19 more

Any suggestions?

Thanks for help,

Roger

Roger,

I can see from you stack trace that what I suggested doesn't work. I didn't get those exceptions when I ran my application under SunONE with Hibernate but I think that it was because I didn't set up Hibernate correctly. I stopped using SunONE in favour of JBoss shortly after.

I feel bad that I wasted your time and did some searching around to see if I could find the answer for you but couldn't find anything. It may in fact not be possible to obtain the TransactionManager via JNDI with SunONE. It doesn't appear to be a requirement of the EJB spec and SunONE app server doesn't seem to do anything not absolutely required.

My apologies again for wasting your time.

Good luck with your development.

Robert

Robert,

thank you for your inquiries. After all it seems that you got the same results that we have here. Maybe somebody should open the issue in JIRA again?

I described a new approach for the Sun ONE 7 integration:

Can you post it to JIRA please and summarize why the previous approch fails ?

Btw, I finally got a SunOneTransactionManager that works:
