java:/TransactionManager not working

[fanningpj]

Hi,
I have tried to get a reference to the JBoss TransactionManager from outside JBoss via JNDI using the name 'java:/TransactionManager' as per the JBoss documentation. This name is not found. I have tried this in 4.0.0DR1 and 3.2.1.
I am using the default config files. Is there something that I have to add to one of the config files?

Thanks in advance,
PJ

Hi,
it's not possible to get the TransactionManager outside the jboss VM (i.e. from the client VM). To manage a transaction from the client side use java:/UserTransaction instead.
