I'm trying to configure Hibernate Tools in Eclipse. My problem is that I keep getting the error "Sessionfactory error: The chosen transaction strategy requires access to the JTA TransactionManager". I haven't specified a transaction strategy anywhere. Where is Hibernate getting this setting from?

I configured Hibernate within Eclipse by going to the Hibernate perspective and adding a new configuration. Within the configuration editor, I've set:
type = JPA (since I'm using JPA)
database connection, I'm using MySQL, verified connection wowkrs with test connection
property file = an empty hibernate.properties (I let it create a new one)
configuration file = blank (editor is grayed out)
persistent unit = blank

Why would my Hibernate think that I'm using JTA? Where (what file) is it reading to set the transaction strategy?

Thanks, Steve

in your peristence.xml you have <jta-datasource> ?
