Re: [castor-dev] WebSphere and User Transactions

[Werner Guttmann]

Yes, David. There's plenty of people on this user group that use Websphere and Castor JDO together in an J2EE environment with transaction demarcated e.g. by the container (in case you are using EJBs). Please browse for quite recent postings on the maioling list archive to see a valid and suggested solution.


In the end, the solution breaks down to patching JDO.java#getDatabase() in a way that a JNDI lookup is replaced with some IBM specific code.

I hope this addresses and answers your question.

Has anyone been successful using UserTransaction with WebSphere 4 or 5? I am using the Database.begin() and Database.commit() and they work fine. Using usertransaction.begin and commit throws a transaction not in progress exception.



Thanks,
