How to find out if there is an active CMT

[cvandyck]

This is probably pretty simple.. . but I can't figure it out.

I've got multiple SLSB methods that specify "Supports" for their container managed transactions.

I'd like to be able to determine in those methods whether or not a transactional context has been created prior to that method invocation and is active for this method invocation. Is this possible?

There is no portable way to do this, since access to the transaction manager
is not in the spec.

In jboss it is:

import javax.transaction.TransactionManager;

TransactionManager tm = (TransactionManager) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/TransactionManager");
int status = tm.getStatus();

Adrian,

Thanks for your help -- I've been wondering for some time how to do this :)
