[hibernate-dev] Is this a bug or am I just handling it the wrong way ?

I haven't looked closely enough to comment on the query problem but I 
can confirm that your assessment above is correct.   JTATransaction has 
and always has had a dependency on JNDI.  It's only been recently 
uncovered because a) we changed how/when the transaction was 
instantiated and b) it turns out some folks are using JTA services 
outside the container that don't bind to JNDI.  If you want to use such 
a service, you're exactly right - also use a JNDI service or create a 
TransactionFactory/Transaction combo that doesn't need JNDI.  This is 
trivial IMHO (though I haven't done it).  And of course if you do this, 
please share :)
