Forget this issue. I got it working now. But I am getting: [junit] Caused by: org.springframework.transaction.TransactionSystemException: JTA TransactionManager is not available at JNDI location [java:TransactionManager]; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TransactionManager not bound [junit] at org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager.lookupTransactionManager(JtaTransactionManager.java:474) [junit] at org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager.afterPropertiesSet(JtaTransactionManager.java:379) [junit] at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1062) [junit] at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1029) [junit] ... 48 more [junit] Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TransactionManager not bound Even though I can clearly see the TransactionManager bound in the JNDIView. I am running these tests thru JUnit to a JBoss server running locally. Is there something special I have to do if the tests are outside the JBoss container?
