[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-6208) Hibernate - Tomcat UserTransaction via JDNI not found

Hibernate - Tomcat UserTransaction via JDNI not found ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6208 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6208 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.3 Environment: Tomcat 5.5 Hibernate 3.6.3 Oracle 11 Reporter: Guy Priority: Blocker I want to upgrade from Hibernate 3.4.2 to 3.6.3. When running my application using Tomcat 5.5 and with Hibernate 3.4.2 everything works fine. But when upgrading to Hibernate 3.6.3 I receive this blocking error saying that the user transaction could not be found. Does someone know a workaround for this? I already tried to rename the JNDI name from "java:comp/UserTransaction" to "UserTransaction" but without success.
