use hibernate3.2, oracle9.2 and websphere 5.1. After I try to configure jndi for the sessionfactory I get the error:

The followings are related files:

*hibernate.cfg.xml:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>

<property name="hibernate.session_factory_name">
java:comp/HibernateSessionFactory
</property>
<property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">

<property name="jta.UserTransaction">

<property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">
jdbc/NA_DEV1
</property>



* HibernateUtil.java:
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
String sfName = configuration.getProperty(Environment.SESSION_FACTORY_NAME);
if ( sfName != null) {
//log.debug("Looking up SessionFactory in JNDI");
try {
return (SessionFactory) new InitialContext().lookup(sfName);
} catch (NamingException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
} else if (sessionFactory == null) {
rebuildSessionFactory();
}
return sessionFactory;
}

...

*My code
public static void setUserBean(ExtranetUserH extranetUserH
) throws Exception {

UserTransaction tx = null;

try {

tx = (UserTransaction) new InitialContext()
.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");

tx.begin();


//get save is not valid without active transaction at below statement

HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession().save(extranetUserH);

tx.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
....


The code works without using jndi for sessionfactory. Thanks in advance.

I test the code:


//This statement is OK.
Session session=HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

//I get "save is not valid without active transaction" error.
session.save(extranetUserH);
