Ejb3Configuration class issue ----------------------------- Key: EJB-250 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-250 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.0.ga Environment: Hibernate version : 3.2.0.ga. Db : H2 Reporter: David Avenante Priority: Minor Hi, I try for my test to use my entityManager out of container. For that i instanciate my entityManagerFactory through the Ejb3Configuration helper. All it's ok (annoted classes found, connection ok ...) but not my transactionType !!!! i try to add the property "javax.persistence.transactionType" ->"RESOURCE_LOCAL" without success After inspection of sources it's seem this property is available through the configure() method who need the name of a file configuration. But i don't want that a want define my entityManager only programaticly. Ok so after some investigations. Ejb3Configuration cfg = new Ejb3Configuration(); cfg.addProperties(getProperties()); cfg.addAnnotatedClass(User.class); entityManagerFactory = cfg.buildEntityManagerFactory(); private static Properties getProperties() { Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.setProperty(Environment.DRIVER, DATABASE_DRIVER_CLASS); properties.setProperty(Environment.URL, MEMORY_DATABASE_URL); properties.setProperty(Environment.USER, USERNAME); properties.setProperty(Environment.PASS, PASSWORD); properties.setProperty(Environment.DIALECT, DBDIALECT); properties.put(Environment.SHOW_SQL, "true"); properties.put(Environment.FLUSH_BEFORE_COMPLETION, "false"); properties.put(Environment.TRANSACTION_STRATEGY, PersistenceUnitTransactionType.RESOURCE_LOCAL); properties.put(Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO, "create"); return properties; } This code don't work because my entityManagerFactory doesn't have TransactionStrategy attached. But if i use this code Ejb3Configuration cfg = new Ejb3Configuration(); cfg.addProperties(getProperties()); cfg.addAnnotatedClass(User.class); cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml"); entityManagerFactory = cfg.buildEntityManagerFactory(); with a empty hibernate.cfg.xml config file like that ... <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration> the entityManagerFactory have a transaction manager attached !!!! You can reply me hey guys all is ok good but not really. Because we can see the cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml") don't use a resource or an input stream but a string. So the location of my file must be in my source directory but i dont want that. I want to use my file in my test directory tree. So emmanuel ask me to open and issue ;) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
