A4J and UserModule in a portlet

[mohitmutha]

I am trying to use A4J in a portlet. The functionality is to display the user details when the user clicks on the user row in the search results.

I am using the identity modules to retrieve the user list (by role). This works fine. However when I use A4J to retrieve the user details in a managed bean action the UserModule.getUserById() gives the exception

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:544)
at org.jboss.portal.identity.db.HibernateUserModuleImpl.getCurrentSession(HibernateUserModuleImpl.java:298)
at org.jboss.portal.identity.db.HibernateUserModuleImpl.findUserById(HibernateUserModuleImpl.java:136)
at com.apple.ist.channelportal.admin.managedbeans.ManageUsersBean.retrive(ManageUsersBean.java:50)


I have set the tran-attribute = required in jboss-portlet.xml

Please help !!

This is normal for RichFaces ResourceLifecycle class. The fix to not show this exception is in Richfaces trunk.

Can you elaborate. I thought that this was more to do with the Hibernate transaction.

Also where can a get a working build with the fix?
