Trouble creating user on the fly programatically
Using: jboss-portal-2.6-BETA1-bundled, configured to use MySQL as the datastore
I have a custom auth module that authenticates a user against Active Directory Server and drops a user into roles that are derived from ADS attributes.
Upon successful authentication, as long as a user exists in the jbp_users table, I am able to log in successfully.
However, if the user does not already exist in the jbp_users table, the following error occurs:
HTTP Status 500 -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have made the following attempt to create the user on the fly:
try {
UserModule userModule = (UserModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:portal/UserModule");
User user = null;
try{
user = userModule.findUserByUserName("username");
} catch (IdentityException nsue) {
//User Does Not Exist, so we need to create
try {
user = userModule.createUser("username", "password");
} catch (IdentityException ie) {
//This should not happen
log.error("Error creating user", ie);
}
}
try {
UserProfileModule userProfileModule = (UserProfileModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:portal/UserProfileModule");
userProfileModule.setProperty(user, User.INFO_USER_EMAIL_REAL, new StringBuffer("username").append("@email.com"));
userProfileModule.setProperty(user, User.INFO_USER_ENABLED, true);
userProfileModule.setProperty(user, User.INFO_USER_VIEW_EMAIL_VIEW_REAL, true);
userProfileModule.setProperty(user, User.INFO_USER_NAME_FAMILY, lastName);
userProfileModule.setProperty(user, User.INFO_USER_NAME_GIVEN, firstName);
} catch (IdentityException ie) {
log.error("Unable to update identity.", ie);
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
log.error("Error in Create UserModule", e);
}
When I execute this code, the following exception is thrown in the logs:

It looks as if there might be some sort of configuration issue, or perhaps some preperatory coding, that I have missed because the error message states that it is "Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to locate current JTA transaction"
If there is any additional information required to help resolve this issue, please let me know and I will attach it to this thread.
Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.
