Transactions?

[Neal Sanche]

Hi All,

Okay, another rough spot found in my transition. I'm trying to create a 
new CMP bean instance from my web app. But it needs a transaction to do 
so. I suppose I could do the operation from within a Session bean method 
(I probably will anyway), but is there a way to obtain a new Transaction 
from within the web application's code? I was used to doing the following:

       UserTransaction tx = null;
       InitialContext ctx = null;
       try {
           ctx = new InitialContext();
           tx = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("UserTransaction");
           tx.begin();
           chain.doFilter(request, response);
       } catch (Throwable e) {
           throw new ServletException(e);
       } finally {
           try {
               if (tx != null)
                   tx.commit();
               if (ctx != null)
                   ctx.close();
           } catch (Throwable ex) {
               throw new ServletException(ex);
           }
       }

Now that just throws a name not found for UserTransaction. How do I do 
it with Geronimo?

Thanks in advance.
