Thanks Brian,

I can get the transaction manager to start correctly by including the geronimo-jta_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar in the Xbootclasspath as you mention but something still isn't right when I actually attempt to use a container managed transaction via the blueprint declarative transaction support. It seems that something isn't being registered correctly.

I get this error:
Caused by: javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: No JTA transaction services implementation is currently available. As a result the JPA container cannot integrate with JTA transactions. at org.apache.aries.jpa.container.context.transaction.impl.JTAPersistenceContextRegistry.getCurrentPersistenceContext(JTAPersistenceContextRegistry.java:96) at org.apache.aries.jpa.container.context.transaction.impl.JTAEntityManager.getPersistenceContext(JTAEntityManager.java:73) at org.apache.aries.jpa.container.context.transaction.impl.JTAEntityManager.persist(JTAEntityManager.java:220) at org.apache.aries.samples.ariestrader.persist.jpa.TradeJpaCm.createQuote(TradeJpaCm.java:449)

Hi Joe,

The main change to the transaction implementation is that the org.apache.aries.transaction.manager bundle no longer exports the javax.transaction and javax.transaction.xa packages. This means that in order to use transactions you now need to add the geronimo-jta_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar to the bootclasspath. The reason that this is necessary is that the system bundle also has some classes from the javax.transaction and javax.transaction.xa packages and using those classes results in errors similar to the following:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving interface method "javax.sql.XAConnection.getXAResource()Ljavax/transaction/xa/XAResource;" the class loader (instance of org/eclipse/osgi/internal/baseadaptor/DefaultClassLoader) of the current class, org.apache.aries.transaction.jdbc.ConnectionWrapper, and the class loader (instance of <bootloader>) for resolved class, javax/sql/XAConnection, have different Class objects for the type javax/transaction/xa/XAResource used in the signature

You probably haven't seen this exception before when running the Aries Trader application because the code to enlist JDBC resources in transactions is also included in the same patch.

Hi Alasdair,

Thanks. ?I'm sorry if my note sounded a little terse and you thought I
was
complaining about the jndi issue (or even the transaction issue for that
matter). ?That was not what I intended to convey.

My note was more driven by confusion related to transaction support. ?I
just
confirmed (at least as far as I understand how to do) that AriesTrader
transaction support was working prior to the recent changes. ?However,
I've
heard comments that it should not have been working. And so I was trying
to
get a better understanding of why it was working before and if the
recent
changes (which now require adding the geronimo jta spec to the
Xbootclasspath) were really necessary.

The jndi change was really just mentioned because you can't get far
enough
in AriesTrader to see transaction working unless you also revert the
jndi
change locally which will let you get far enough to see it working with
the
former transaction code.

If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, where will you find the time to do it again?
