Re: [castor-dev] Websphere 5 - Problem getting Castor working: "basic" jndi/user transaction issues.

[Werner Guttmann]

Jay,

as far as I know, Websphere has never exposed javax.jta.TransactionManager in the same way as other application servers (by binding it to the JNDI ENC under 'java:comp/UserTransaction'. I think a couple of weeks ago there was a thread that explained what to do if you want to use global transactions with Websphere 5 and Castor. Basically, you'll have to patch JDO.java#getDatabase() so that an internal class to Websphere will be called instead of the JNDI lookup.

I hope this helps ...

Werner

Hello All,



After reading the documentation and looking thru the mailing archives, I still am experiencing issues with my setup. The latest issue is the following exception: [CASTOR-ADO] java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.ejs.container.UserTransactionWrapper



Here is the code I am executing from a stateless session bean (deployment descriptor set to transaction-type = bean):



uTran = serviceLocator.getUserTransaction(utName);

uTran.begin();

db = jdo.getDatabase();

db.create(user);

uTran.commit();

db.close();



Here is my JDO setup (done before the above code is executed):



// Set up the Castor JDO object

jdo = new JDO();

jdo.setLogWriter(castorLogger);

// utName is "java:comp/UserTransaction"

jdo.setTransactionManager(utName);

jdo.setConfiguration(databaseConfiguration);

jdo.setDatabaseName(databaseName);





Im sure it is something easy I missed in the docs  any help is greatly appreciated!



Thanks,



Jay T. Hotaling
