JBoss 7.0.2 JTA UserTransaction is not available at JNDI location [UserTransaction]

[anivijen]

Hi,

When I was trying to start JBoss 7.0.2 Final server after deploying application, i was getting the following exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/config/webflow-config.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.transaction.TransactionSystemException: JTA UserTransaction is not available at JNDI location [UserTransaction]; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: UserTransaction -- service jboss.naming.context.java.UserTransaction

Please show the configuration of your:

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
     ...
</bean>

Simply specifying:

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager" />

works for me. This just looks up the standard mandated java:comp/UserTransaction.

Hi, Thanks for you reply. I have specified same what you did. See below piece of code from my webflow-config.xml file

My configuration file is :

<aop:config>

        <aop:advisor

            pointcut="execution(* com.converge.trade.persistent.services..*.*(..))"    advice-ref="txAdvice" />

    </aop:config>

    <tx:advice id="txAdvice">

        <tx:attributes>

            <tx:method name="save*" />

            <tx:method name="update*" />

            <tx:method name="*" read-only="true" />

        </tx:attributes>

    </tx:advice>

    <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">

        <property name="userTransactionName">

         <value>UserTransaction</value>

         </property>

        <property name="allowCustomIsolationLevels">

            <value>true</value>

        </property>

    </bean>

Thanks,

Remove this:

        <property name="userTransactionName">

         <value>UserTransaction</value>

         </property>

You never needed it because it defaults to the spec mandated value (ie available on all application servers) of java:comp/UserTransaction.

We encountered this as well. Did this solution work for you ani vijen ?

[anivijen]

No, not at all

I tried but no luck

[anivijen]

If you find solution please post here the solution.

When I tried that the error went away, but we hit some Spring Web Flow issues right after it. What happened when you removed the <property name="userTransactionName">

<value>UserTransaction</value>

</property>

?
