[jboss-user] [Management, JMX/JBoss] - tranasction context propagation..ejb 3

Hi , I am stuck in an issue and need your help on it. I have an ejb (Bean1) where in a transaction is started. This is controlled by the Jboss. My query is.. If from Bean1, I make a call to some utility class which makes entires into DB and if an error happens in Bean1 , after utility class commits the DB changes. How can I rollback the changes made in utility class. In short, how is the transaction in EJB3 propagated to utility class? I am using hibernate in utility class and the application server used is JBoss4. I set hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class and set hibernate.transaction.factory_class to org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory My code in utility class.. UserTransaction tx = (UserTransaction)new InitialContext() .lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); try { tx.begin(); // Do some work saved object using hibernate session tx.commit(); } catch (RuntimeException e) { tx.rollback(); throw e; // or display error message } I get an error which says the transaction is not active. Can you please tell what could be the problem? Thanks, David View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4106775#...
