Problems with Transaction after moving from Seam 2.0 to Seam 2.2

[ibenjes]

Hi,

I've inherited a Seam 2.0 project running on JBoss 4.2.2 which I am currently trying to migrate to Seam 2.2.1 and JBoss 5.1.

I followed the migration guide and other resources I could find regarding migration but now I am running into a problem with Transactions not being active.

Caused by: org.jboss.util.NestedSQLException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: a00005e:dedb:4caf0d6a:79 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >; - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: a00005e:dedb:4caf0d6a:79 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >)

The project is using POJOs in a JEE environment so I was expecting that it is using JTA transactions and would behave similar to EJB3 beans (a transaction is available and started when a method is being called). This certainly did work with Seam 2.0 and JBoss 4.2.2.

This is my deployment descriptor:

<datasources>

   <local-tx-datasource>
       <jndi-name>Odyssey0.5.0Datasource</jndi-name>
        <use-java-context>false</use-java-context>

       <user-name>XXX</user-name>
       <password>XXX</password>
   </local-tx-datasource>

</datasources>

The above exception with transaction not being active is thrown when I try to log into the system. It issues a few SQL queries successfully (so transactions are started for these POJOs) but then eventually I get the transaction not active exception.

At first I got the exception in a Seam PoJo which used a hibernate session.
After annotating the component with @Transactional it worked.
This time it crashed on a PoJo which used a normal JPA entity manager. I've tried to annotate it with @Transaction as well but that didn't solve the problem.

I thought I shouldn't need @Transactional with Seam using JTA and specifying

<transaction:ejb-transaction/>

. Is that correct?
I guess something is wrong with the configuration, any idea what it could be?

[ibenjes]

One more thing.
The Hibernate Session and the JPA entity manager are both injected using the normal Seam approach

@In EntityManager entityManager;

and
@In Session hibernateSession;

Any help would really be appreaciated.

[ibenjes]

Okay this seems to take a different turn now.
I added some exception handling to get to the root and it seems the problem is that
my hibernate session can't be injected:

org.jboss.seam.RequiredException: @In attribute requires non-null value: taskList.hibernateSession
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.getValueToInject(Component.java:2335)
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.injectAttributes(Component.java:1736)
        at org.jboss.seam.Component.inject(Component.java:1554)
        at org.jboss.seam.core.BijectionInterceptor.aroundInvoke(BijectionInterceptor.java:61)
        at org.jboss.seam.intercept.SeamInvocationContext.proceed(SeamInvocationContext.java:68)

I read in the migration document that the default name for the hibernate session changed from session to hibernateSession so I changed the code from

@In 
private Session session;

to

@In(value="hibernateSession")
private Session session;

I also tried

@In
private Session hibernateSession; 

but that didn't work either.

In the orginal component.xml file for Seam 2.0 I found this line:

<factory auto-create="true" name="session" scope="STATELESS" value="#{entityManager.delegate}"/>

I took it out as I thought this shouldn't be needed with Seam 2.2

What do I have to do to get my hibernate injection to work?

[ibenjes]

Okay fixed. If you use both EntityManager and Hibernate Session you need to use the factory above.
Well at least I've learned a bit more about the configuration now :-)
