Calling UserModule service

[rashmi_setty]

Hi
We are using JBOSS Portal 2.4 GA
we have requirement where registration should be done in Simple JSF application and not using Portlet.
So we devleoped JSF application in which i am calling userModule as shown below

String userModuleJNDIName = "java:/portal/UserModule";
 UserModule userModule = (UserModule)(new InitialContext()).lookup(userModuleJNDIName);
 User user = userModule.createUser(subID, userBean.getPwd(), "[e-mail]");

I deployed the this JSF application war file in same Jboss Portal server.
I am getting userModule but while creating the user it throwing exception as

Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to locate current JTA transaction
 at org.hibernate.context.JTASessionContext.currentSession(JTASessionContext.java:61)
at org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl.getCurrentSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:541)
 at org.jboss.portal.identity.db.UserModuleImpl.getCurrentSession(UserModuleImpl.java:327)
 at org.jboss.portal.identity.db.UserModuleImpl.createUser(UserModuleImpl.java:212)

Is this the corrct way to call userModule.Should i set some parameter in xml file

Please help
Thanx

You need to have a JTA transaction open before you call the method "createUser" on the UserModule if you are using the database implementation of the user module.

As i have metioned it is not portal application.It is just simple JSF application.I am not using Portlet.
Can anybody tell me how to open JTA transaction before calling UserModule

[cpage]

TransactionManager tm;
 try {
 tm = (TransactionManager)new InitialContext().lookup("java:/TransactionManager");
 TypeX x = (TypeX)Transactions.required(tm, new Transactions.Runnable()
 {
 public Object run() throws Exception
 { ....return something in TypeX

look in the UserPortlet Code or in the IdentityLoginModule Code how they use UserModule services.

hi cpage,
Thx for your reply.
Actually can i open JTA Transaction as shown below.This code is working fine now.But i dont know whether i can call this way though i am getting result.

UserTransaction ut = (UserTransaction)(initCtx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"));
 ut.begin();
 user = userModule.createUser(subID, userBean.getPwd(), "[e-mail]");
