Name and version of the database you are using: DB2 V 7.2.005

[b] App server : WAS 6.0.2.15[b/]


We have implemented our own id generator. The doWorkInIsolation() method throws up the above error when it tries to suspend the JTA transaction and open a JDBC connection.

Please advice.

We too have the very same issue while working with Websphere 6.1 and EJB3 Feature pack along with Hibernate as persistence provider. I could see several queries raised on the same subject but with no valid response on the issue.

With websphere in specific, an attempt to suspend() the transaction throws unsupported exception. But the work around of using WebsphereTransactionManager instead of WebsphereExtendedTransactionManagerLookup works.

Can anyone please confirm if there is a neat solution to this problem ?
We've tried with almost all versions of hibernate starting with 3.0.
