[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3739) Problem using BTMTransactionManagerLookup with Tomcat

Problem using BTMTransactionManagerLookup with Tomcat ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3739 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3739 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Patch Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1 GA Reporter: Helder Sousa Attachments: BTMTransactionManagerLookup.patch Hi. When using Bitronix Transaction Manager with tomcat there is a problem resolving the TransactionManager by JNDI. Please take a look to this thread: http://www.nabble.com/Hibernate-JTATransactionFactory-and-BTMTransactionM... In 5th post, Ludovic wrote: "The UserTransaction name is java:comp/UserTransaction and when a JNDI lookup happens in Tomcat, the Tomcat provider takes precedence because Tomcat registered a java: namespace handler." So, when using BTM in Tomcat, the BTM users should configure in BTM Configuration a JNDI name that does not start with java:comp and the BTMTransactionManagerLookup class should read this configuration: Here is the change to the BTMTransactionManagerLookup class (I attached the patch): public String getUserTransactionName() { try { Class transactionManagerServiceClass = Class.forName("bitronix.tm.TransactionManagerServices"); Method getConfigurationMethod = transactionManagerServiceClass.getMethod("getConfiguration", null); Object configurationInstance = getConfigurationMethod.invoke(null, null); Class bitronixConfigurationClass = configurationInstance.getClass(); Method getJndiUserTransactionNameMethod = bitronixConfigurationClass .getMethod("getJndiUserTransactionName", null); String configuredJndiUserTransactionName = (String) getJndiUserTransactionNameMethod.invoke( configurationInstance, null); if (configuredJndiUserTransactionName != null && configuredJndiUserTransactionName.trim().length() >= 0) { return configuredJndiUserTransactionName; } return "java:comp/UserTransaction"; } catch (Exception e) { throw new HibernateException("Could not obtain BTM UserTransactionName", e); } } Can you apply the patch?
