It really really really looks like they don't set up the transaction manager in their config (for sure the code sample in the forum does not have the property). They should use SunONETransactionManagerLookup (previous name for GF. Alternatively, it could be like:  - GF v3 has changed it's binding ( java:appserver/TransactionManager )  - there is no Tx started  - the tx has been marked for rollback previously Emmanuel On 28 sept. 2010, at 15:37, Sanne Grinovero wrote: Hi Emmanuel, do you have any clue about this issue in the forum thread mentiond below? I thougth they might be missing the transactionmanager registration, but a) I'd expect a different exception b)there's no mention of Glassfish in the Hibernate core documentation. Is it possible that in glassfish it's not allowed to start a transaction at all in a user created thread?

Yes. Actually adding a GlassfishDialect subclass might make things simpler too
