[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (HIBERNATE-137) Fallback for JBossAppServerJtaPlatform.locateUserTransaction() to look at "java:jboss" if "java:comp" not available

Fallback for JBossAppServerJtaPlatform.locateUserTransaction() to look at "java:jboss" if "java:comp" not available ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HIBERNATE-137 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HIBERNATE-137 Project: Hibernate Integration Issue Type: Enhancement Environment: JBoss AS 7.1.2.Final, Hibernate 4.1.2.Final Reporter: Marek Posolda Assignee: Steve Ebersole Normally UserTransaction is available in JBoss via JNDI lookup to "java:comp/UserTransaction" . But sometimes this approach does not work (For example if we have custom worker threads in our application or we are starting our AS7 deployment with custom MSC thread before "java:comp" context is available to JNDI) So it may be good to fallback to "java:jboss/UserTransaction", which is available in JBoss AS7 even from custom threads. Is it possible to change "org.jboss.as.jpa.hibernate4.JBossAppServerJtaPlatform" or "org.hibernate.service.jta.platform.internal.JBossAppServerJtaPlatform" to have method locateUserTransaction() similar to this?: {code} public static final String AS7_NEW_UT_NAME = "java:jboss/UserTransaction"; @Override protected UserTransaction locateUserTransaction() { try { return (UserTransaction) jndiService().locate(UT_NAME); } catch(JndiException jndiException) { return (UserTransaction) jndiService().locate(AS7_NEW_UT_NAME); } } {code}
