Hi all,

I'm involved in a project running under ServiceMix platform with Spring, Camel, ActiveMQ and Hibernate for the ORM part.

I've decided to go into the JTA way as I've multiple resources to use in a single transaction.

I'm currently using hibernate 3.5 + JPA + Aries Geronimo transaction management.

the problem is:

I have references on UserTransaction and TransactionManager (I got through OSGI reference) and when I try to use Hibernate, I get errors because Hibernate cannot get TransactionManager and UserTransaction.

to solve this , I supposed I had to write a transactionManagerLookup class(hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class) and define hibernate.transaction.factory_class but I 'm not really shure everithing is correct...

any idea about how to solve this?

using a more recent version of hibernate is also possible if it can solve the problem in a more easy way...

Michael.

I realize this is an old thread, but in case someone's wondering:

Hibernate 4.2/4.3 added full support for OSGi. This included automatically pulling in the container's TransactionManager and UserTransaction services. So, this should now work out of the box!
