[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3438) Could not check JTA transaction; nested exception is java.lang.StackOverflowError

Daniel Freitas commented on HHH-3438:
-------------------------------------

I resolved the StackOverflow issue with JOTM/Jetty running embedded.
Hibernate version: 3.3.1.GA
Jotm version: 2.0.10
Jetty version: 6.1.11

After reading the source code for the method "org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory.resolveUserTransactionName(Properties properties)" I could see it tries to find under which name the UserTransaction class is bound in jndi. It does so by checking the property "jta.UserTransaction" from the provided properties file. Failing that, it defaults to the TransactionManagerLookup class, which in my case was the JOTMTransactionManagerLookup, and queries for the user transaction name by calling JOTMTransactionManagerLookup.getUserTransactionName(), which in turn returns "java:comp/UserTransaction".

When hibernate then tries to load this object from JNDI, a NamingException in thrown but the catch clause in JTATransactionFactory.getUserTransaction() build an error message by calling getUserTransaction() again, thus causing the StackOverflow.

To solve this issue in my particular case, I have two options:

1 - Add the property jta.UserTransaction=UserTransaction (I did this by adding a java property with -D) or
2 - Register the Jotm UserTransaction class under "java:comp/UserTransaction" instead of only "UserTransaction" eg.: new org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource("java:comp/UserTransaction");

I hope it might help.
