JNDI transaction outside of container

[gchen77]

I cant seem to get the TransactionManager and UserTransaction when running junit tests from outside the server.

I've tried many thing including:
<jee:jndi-lookup id="transactionManager" jndi-name="java:TransactionManager">
<jee:environment>java.naming.provider.url=localhost:20350</jee:environment>
</jee:jndi-lookup>

<!-- spring jta transaction manager -->



UserTransaction



Is it possible to get the TransactionManager and UserTransaction if you are not running from within the jvm of the container?
Has anyone tried this before?

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] ... 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?
