Not it's even worse..
I tried to configure Bitronix with Spring and Hibernate like here:
http://www.time4tea.net/wiki/display/MAIN/Proper+XA+Transactions+With+Oracle+and+Spring - I didn't want to rely on tomcat.
so I changed also Hibernate to locate its resource like this:
<property name="hibernate.jndi.class" value="bitronix.tm.jndi.BitronixInitialContextFactory"/>
However now I get:
