Hi guys, I'm also testing Hibernate 3.3.1 and JBoss Cache 3.0.2 from a standalone application, but it seems my app can't get the TransactionManager reference from JNDI. This is the hibernate config file I'm using as stated in hibernate-jbosscache doc: <hibernate-configuration> | <session-factory> | <property name="transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory</property> | <property name="transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup</property> | | <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property> | | <property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.SharedJBossCacheRegionFactory</property> | <property name="cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property> | <property name="cache.use_query_cache">true</property> | | </session-factory> | </hibernate-configuration> and this are the java options in my app: | -Djbosscache.config.validate=false -Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory -Djava.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1097 -Djava.naming.factoy.url.pkgs=org.jnp.interfaces The exception Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TransactionManager not bound These are my questions (take into account I'm not familiar with JTA) 1.- I'm starting JBoss AS 5.0.0 to have a java:/TransactionManager bound (it is not that my application needs the AS). JBoss AS NS is configured in port 1097 (instead of default 1099). Is there the need to start the AS though ? 2.- JBossTransactionManagerLookup looks for java:/TransactionManager (according to the source code) but it cannot find it. What is the part I'm missing ?? Thanks a lot !! Ignacio. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4226756#...
