Hi,
I have just migrated from Apache/Tomact to Apache/Jboss 3.2.6 and now need to change my class files to take advantage of JNDI. I have declared my jndi:

[SessionFactoryObjectFactory] Factory name: java:/HibernateFactory

What I am not to clear about is how to now access a transaction via jndi from java code? This is how my classes currently access a transaction:

session = HibernateUtil.currentSession();
transaction = session.beginTransaction();

but could I now acces a transaction like so?:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
UserTransaction ut = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:/HibernateFactory");
ut.begin();
ut.commit();

How would I close the session? ut.closeSession()?

many thanks

and would really appreciate some help here. I have amended my class file as so:

import org.jboss.hibernate.session.HibernateContext;
import org.jboss.tm.TransactionLocal;
import net.sf.hibernate.*;

...........

Session session = HibernateContext.getSession("java:/HibernateFactory");


try {
//Util = new HibernateUtil();
//session = Util.currentSession();

transaction = session.beginTransaction();
//Get User details
Query query = session.createQuery("from test.User as user where user.UserName=:username and user.UserPassword=:password")
.setString("username",username)
.setString("password",password);
user = (User) query.uniqueResult();

transaction.commit();
//Util.closeSession();

} catch (HibernateException e) {

throw new RuntimeException("Exception in Hibernate:: " + e.getMessage(), e);
}

When I call the method no data is being returned and I get the following output in the logs:

2004-10-23 01:09:52,014 DEBUG [net.sf.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryObjectFactory] JNDI lookup: HibernateFactory

Don't really understand what you are asking for here. You just want to know how to retreive the UserTransaction directly from JBoss JNDI? It is stored under "java:/UserTransaction" as outlined in the JBoss docs.
