Why is TransactionManager not Bound in JNDI

[bmcgovern]

With BOTH AS4.0.5.GA and AS4.2.0GA, I'm trying to lookup TransactionManager in JNDI at various locations and it is throwing a Name Not Bound exception every time. I can find UserTransaction w/o any problems.

java:/TransactionManager -- Not found
java:TransactionManager -- Not found.

Can anyone tell my where I can find it or how I can get at it? I'm trying to grab it from SpringFramework.

Thank you

Weird.
Just to be sure check the JNDIView:

I did what you said and it appears to be bound in the java: namespace.

java: Namespace
+- TransactionManager (class: com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerDelegate)


But when I do a lookup under java:/TransactionManager or just TransactionManger or java:TransactionManger. I get:

NameNotBoundException: TransactionManager.

Can anyone help? Im on 4.2.0.GA.

As it turns out, i cannot find anything in the local java: namespace.

Im using springframework' JndiObjectFactoryBean. What am I doing wrong?

Did you ever get this cleared up? I am getting it too...

Yes, there were two problems. I had to put this in my datasource:

<use-java-context>false</use-java-context>


It was correctly bound to java:/TransactionManager.

But I couldn't look it up because I had some Jboss jars bundled in with my application. When I removed those it worked. There was classloader issues with JNDI in general. Look in your application for conflicting jars and I bet you'll find some.

Good luck
