User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Resources for using portal api": http://community.jboss.org/message/528587#528587 Author : Monkey Den Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/monkeyden Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks again Wesley.  I've been able to get everything working correctly within my code but transaction committal fails after the request.  Seam doesn't know anything about the persistence context the portal API is using so when it tries to commit it fails with:   org.jboss.util.NestedSQLException: Could not enlist in transaction on entering meta-aware object! ... Caused by: org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection   Here is the bit of code that works, until the response:   UserModule userMod = (UserModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:portal/UserModule"); user = userMod.findUserByUserName(username);   Any idea of how to get around this? -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528587#528587
