Hello,

Following is my context -
I have a JSF-Spring-JPA-Hibernate based web application that I am trying to deploy in Tomcat. The JPA transcations do work properly in Glassfish - I am able to do CRUD through UI, but I have problems when I try to migrate my application into Tomcat (with JOTM configured).

I have following versions-
Hibernate core - 3.6.10.Final
Hibernate search -3.1.1.GA
jotm-core - 2.2.3

Key Configurations
1.

At runtime ,I get following exception while doing an insert/update -

Looking at the source code for org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransaction, I can figure out that it is not having the reference of Transaction Manager and thats why it is failing.

What I can not figure out it why this works pretty well in Glassfish (when using default TM of Glassfish) and fails in Tomcat.

Is there any hibernate-search property I am missing or is the problem with JOTM?

Would appreciate if someone can throw some light on this.

Thnaks,
Jatin
