Question about TransactionManager in EmbeddedConfiguration

[ichanjasper]

What should I set for TransactionManager in EmbeddedConfiguration?  I found the following code in your embedded server test code:

		if (config.getTransactionManager() == null) {
			config.setTransactionManager(SimpleMock.createSimpleMock(TransactionManager.class));
			this.transactionService.setXaTerminator(SimpleMock.createSimpleMock(XATerminator.class));
			this.transactionService.setWorkManager(new FakeWorkManager());
			detectTransactions = false;
		}

What is the default in runtime for standalone version?  Thanks.

That code is for the FakeServer, which is just a test harness.  The EmbeddedServer does not require a TransactionManager.  See the EmbeddedServer class.  If you don't set a TransactionManger any transaction related method will fail with an unsupported operation exception.  If you are in a transaction aware environment, then you should set the EmbeddedConfiguration TransactionManager to the TransactionManager in that environment (you would typically have to perform a JNDI lookup).
