@Gail Badner Can you give me a hand on creating the unit test. For this case, I need to use JTA transaction and need to make sure that I have an active transaction running while closing the session. Can you point me to some example on how to configure the environment and start the jta transaction? I understand I need to set TRANSACTION_COORDINATOR_STRATEGY to "jta" but cannot figure out on how to start jta transaction in the unit test.
