javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: UserTransaction

[kc7bfi]

I have a SAR that is trying to begin a transaction. I try to get the UserTransaction object as:

tx = (UserTransaction)new InitialContext().lookup("UserTransaction");

but I get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: UserTransaction error. My jboss-deployment-structure.xml is

<jboss-deployment-structure>

    <deployment>

        <dependencies>

            <module name="deployment.module.nested" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.apache.commons.codec" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.apache.commons.lang" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.apache.commons.logging" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.infinispan" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.jboss.as.clustering.api" export="true"/>

            <module name="org.jboss.as.clustering.impl" export="true"/>

        </resources>

    </module>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

I do not see the UserTransaction bound to JNDI in the server.log. Is there some dependency that I need to force the UserTransaction to startup and bind to JNDI?

Thanks, David

Try

java:jboss/UserTransaction

instead.

You could also try:

java:comp/UserTransaction

but I'm not sure if SAR deployments have access to a proper ENC (environment naming context) or not.

This is what you should use from WAR and EJB deployments.
