[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-7296) NPE in JtaTransaction#markRollbackOnly

NPE in JtaTransaction#markRollbackOnly -------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7296 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7296 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 4.1.3 Time Spent: 10m Mainly this comes up in usage within Spring with Spring-managed transactions. The problem being that transactions are really "container managed", just in a Spring-specific way. Spring managed transactions to not expose access to TM, so Hibernate users in Spring are forced to use JtaTransactionFactory but the HIbernate transaction API is not used control the transactions, so if calls come into JtaTransaction#markRollbackOnly under these circumstances the userTransaction instance state is null (since #begin was never called).
