I am trying to get the RuntimeManager working with a local spring transaction scheme. I have tried a lot of stuff but can't seem to find the right approach. I have set up a EntityManagerFactory bean, which loads the persistence-unit org.jbpm.presistence.jpa (with transaction-type "Resource_local") with the org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter. I have also set up a org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager bean. When I now try to get a runtimeEngine via the RuntimeEnvironmentBuilder: RuntimeEnvironment environment = RuntimeEnvironmentBuilder.getDefaultInMemory()                 .userGroupCallback(getUserGroupCallback())                 .entityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory)                 .registerableItemsFactory(new KModuleRegisterableItemsFactory(kcontainer,''))                 .addEnvironmentEntry(EnvironmentName.TRANSACTION_MANAGER,jbpmTransactionManager)                 .get();   RuntimeManager manager = RuntimeManagerFactory.Factory.get().newPerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager(environment);   RuntimeEngine runtime = manager.getRuntimeEngine(ProcessInstanceIdContext.get());   I get the following error: NamingException occurred when processing request: [GET] /bpm/test/ Cannot create resource instance. Stacktrace follows: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance           at org.apache.naming.factory.TransactionFactory.getObjectInstance(TransactionFactory.java:116)           at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:321)           at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:843)           at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:154)           at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:831)           at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:168)           at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup(SelectorContext.java:158)           at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:411)           at org.drools.persistence.jta.JtaTransactionManager.findUserTransaction(JtaTransactionManager.java:122)           at org.drools.persistence.jta.JtaTransactionManager.<init>(JtaTransactionManager.java:69)           at org.jbpm.shared.services.impl.JbpmJTATransactionManager.<init>(JbpmJTATransactionManager.java:39)           at org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.factory.LocalTaskServiceFactory.newTaskService(LocalTaskServiceFactory.java:48)           at org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.PerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager.getRuntimeEngine(PerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager.java:94)           at org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.PerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager.init(PerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager.java:258)           at org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.RuntimeManagerFactoryImpl.newPerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager(RuntimeManagerFactoryImpl.java:103)           at org.jbpm.runtime.manager.impl.RuntimeManagerFactoryImpl.newPerProcessInstanceRuntimeManager(RuntimeManagerFactoryImpl.java:94)           at bpm.TestController$$EOFBIT6u.index(TestController.groovy:82)           at grails.plugin.cache.web.filter.PageFragmentCachingFilter.doFilter(PageFragmentCachingFilter.java:200)           at grails.plugin.cache.web.filter.AbstractFilter.doFilter(AbstractFilter.java:63)           at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145)           at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615)           at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) Looking at the stacktrace I found the the LocalTaskServiceFactory where the documentation says: /** * Regular <code>TaskServiceFactory</code> implementation that shall be used for non CDI environments. * Creates new <code>TaskService</code> instance for every call to the factory. * <code>TaskService</code> instance will be equipped with <code>JbpmJTATransactionManager</code> * for transaction management, this is mandatory as it must participate in already active * transaction if such exists. */ So it seems it's not possible to use the RuntimeManager without a JTA Transaction Manager? I thought it might be possible to supply the localTransactionManager via the Environment? But I am fishing in the dark. If I am totally off the mark here in what I am doing, I would appreciate any pointer into the recommended way to integrate jbpm6 (and especially the runtime manager) into a spring-hibernate based application. I have looked at kie-spring, but there is little jbpm specific stuff.
