Jboss AS 7 support for quartz

[lmahadevan]

We are using Jboss 7.1.1 and am trying to execute Jobs using the Quartz scheduler. Some of these jobs update the database. I am receiving the error that the UserTransaction cannot be found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In AS7 it is different to use the UserTransaction.

You need to call EJBClient.getUsertransaction( nodename ) to get the UTx Object to call the Tx methods.

That is not special to the Quartz job.

Does the persistence unit have to be defined differently? We are not using any EJBs.
