Deploying TransactionManager in Microcontainer standalone

[emmartins]

I'm trying to deploy the transaction manager in a Microcontainer Junit test case, using a modified beans-xml present in JBoss AS5, with the properties requiring ServiceBindingManager bean commented and using the JVM MBeanServer instead of the one from the JMXKernel, but this doesn't seem enough to start the transaction manager. Can someone provide me a simple beans config for this use case?

Thanks in advance.

What versions and what's the error?

[emmartins]

I'm importing the component matrix dependendy management from AS 5.0.0.GA, so it seems to be 4.4.0.GA

Here is the test run log:

[jhalliday]

You've got a JNDI provider configured somewhere, right? It seems to be the JNDI bindings that are failing...

[emmartins]

Is there a way to not use ServiceBindingManager and JNDI? I would like to avoid adding more AS components to the tests...

[jhalliday]

yes but you'll need to throw away TransactionManagerService entirely then and do it programatically in your test suite setup code:

TransactionManager tm = new com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjjunacore.TransactionManagerImple();

That won't get you a working recovery system, but it should do basic transactions ok.

[emmartins]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks :-)

For other forum users who may search for the same thing, here it is the microcontainer beans-xml I used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">

 <bean name="Mobicents.JAINSLEE.TransactionManagerMBean"
 class="org.mobicents.slee.runtime.transaction.SleeTransactionManagerImpl">
 <!-- jboss as tx manager bean -->
 <constructor>
 <parameter><inject bean="RealTransactionManager"/></parameter>
 </constructor>
 </bean>

 <bean name="RealTransactionManager" class="com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.TransactionManagerImple" />

</deployment>

[emmartins]

A little bit off-topic, probably more a JTA doubt that JBossTS, but if Transaction.commit() is used (instead of TransactionManager.commit()) and succeeds a follow up TransactionManager.begin() fails, it is impossible to start a new transaction on the same thread?

[jhalliday]

The JTA spec says TransactionManager.commit() not only stops the tx, it also dissociates it from the Thread. No such requirement is placed on Transaction.commit() and in the case of JBossTS it does not do the Thread dissociation bit.

Since nested tx are not allowed in JTA, a subsequent begin on the same Thread will therefore fail. Use TransactionManager.commit(), or if you must use Transaction.commit(), then call suspend to decouple the tx from the Thread before doing another begin()

[emmartins]

Thanks once again, valuable info ;-)
