Persistence Context Configuration On WebLogic 9.2

[darthmaul]

I am deploying a Seam-JPA application on WebLogic 9.2.  Here is my persistence unit:

<persistence-unit name="myWebapp" transaction-type="JTA">
      <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
      <jta-data-source>myDS</jta-data-source>
      <properties>
         <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect"/>
         <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider"/>
         <property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.WeblogicTransactionManagerLookup"/>
      </properties>
</persistence-unit>

Here is the relevant portion of my components.xml:

<persistence:entity-manager-factory name="emf" persistence-unit-name="myWebapp" />
<persistence:managed-persistence-context name="em" auto-create="true" entity-manager-factory="#{emf}" />
<transaction:entity-transaction entity-manager="#{em}"/>

When I deploy my application, I get the following:

I definitely have something wrong with my configuration.  Any insight on what I need to change is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

When you use

<transaction:entity-transaction entity-manager="#{em}"/>

Seam will attempt to use JPA transactions, but your persistence.xml states JTA transactions.  Try putting RESOURCE_LOCAL in for the persistence.xml to actually use JPA.

Take a look at the JPA examples for examples of using JPA transactions or check the docs. 

If you got configuration from an existing example please let me know which one.

Thanks,
Jay

Thanks, Jay.  Everything is working now.  I was relying primarily on two sources: the WebLogic JPA example that came with 2.0.0 GA and Michael Yuan's book. 

Here is the persistence.xml from the example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence>
   <persistence-unit name="bookingDatabase" transaction-type="JTA">
      <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
      <jta-data-source>examples-dataSource-demoPool</jta-data-source>
      <properties>
          <property name="hibernate.dialect" 
                    value="org.hibernate.dialect.PointbaseDialect"/>
         <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
         <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
         <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider"/>
         <property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.WeblogicTransactionManagerLookup"/>
         <!-- alternative
         <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" 
              value="java:/jpaBookingEntityManagerFactory"/>
         -->
      </properties>
   </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Now time for me to do some research as to what RESOURCE LOCAL actually means.

Thanks.
