    jBPM + Container Managed Transactions

    bdepaz

      Hi,

      I need some more info on how to setup jBPM using container managed transactions:

      Here's the scenario I'm targeting at:
      A Stateless Session bean containing business methods will instantiate and invoke the JBPM Proces/Context. So I want jBPM to be using the same transaction that is being initiated when a business method on the session bean is being called.

      What I've read from the jBPM userguide, is that I would have to disable transactions in jbpm so it will use container managed transactions. But I can't seem to manage to get it working.

      Here's what I tried so far:
      * hibernate.cfg.xml
      defined the transaction properties.

      <hibernate-configuration>
       <session-factory>
      
       <!-- jdbc connection properties -->
       <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
       <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">jdbc/DefaultDS</property>
      


      * jbpm.cfg.xml
      Defined the persistence bean, setting the isTransactionEnabled=false, like it is being pointed out in the manual, but that seems to throw UnparsableExcpetions.

       <jbpm-context>
       <service name="persistence">
       <factory>
       <bean factory="org.jbpm.persistence.db.DbPersistenceServiceFactory">
       <field name="isTransactionEnabled"><false /></field>
       <field name="sessionFactoryJndiName">
       <string value="java:/myHibSessFactJndiName" />
       </field>
       <field name="dataSourceJndiName">
       <string value="jdbc/DefaultDS" />
       </field>
       </bean>
       </factory>
       </service>
       ...
       </jbpm-context>
      


      The Exception I'm getting seems to mean that still, jBPM is trying to commit it's persistent objects in it's own transaction:

      Can somebody help me out with this? Maybe point me to the right direction on this?

      Note: I'm running all this in an Oracle OC4J container, in case that should matter.

      Kind Regards,
