JTATransactionFactory bug when Transaction cannot be found in JNDI ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-3481 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3481 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.0.CR2 Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4 This is the code after linked patch: protected UserTransaction getUserTransaction() { log.trace( "Attempting to locate UserTransaction via JNDI [{}]", getUserTransactionName() ); try { UserTransaction ut = ( UserTransaction ) getInitialContext().lookup( getUserTransactionName() ); if ( ut == null ) { throw new TransactionException( "Naming service lookup for UserTransaction returned null [" + getUserTransactionName() +"]" ); } log.trace( "Obtained UserTransaction" ); return ut; } catch ( NamingException ne ) { throw new TransactionException( "Could not find UserTransaction in JNDI [" + getUserTransaction() + "]", ne ); } } Notice that in catch of NamingException we try to build a TransactionException. It is supposed to embed the JNDI namespace where we attempted to resolve the Transaction; but rather than getUserTransactionName() we are instead calling back into this same exact method getUserTransaction().
