How to wire transactions for FitNesse tests?

Hi

Are using FitNesse for testing an application. I have problems running a fixture (extending columnfixture). I cannot find how to start a transaction in the fixture, and therefore get an exception saying "no session bound to thread". My aplication uses Spring annotation driven tx-controls and an hibernatetransactionmanager.

Has anyone some good tips on how to wire transactions with hibernate, fitnesse and Spring so that the tx is started before the testpage, and rolled back when all the tests are done?

One way would be to start a transaction on the SetUp page and to commit/rollback on the TearDown page (keep the transaction in a static variable).

If you only have a single FitNesse table you can override the interpretation of the table from Fixture.

@melsom: Can you let me know how you were able to wire transactions for FitNesse tests? Can you share the fixture code used to accomplish the same(SetupFixture, Implementation Fixture and Tear Down Fixture)?

I need clarity with this problem also. I'll keep it on the same thread.
