Tyrex Plugin

[tommy]

I have altered jboss-service.xml to make use of the Tyrex transaction manager plugin, however I get the following error on startup:

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: TransactionPropagationContextExporter
not bound; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TransactionPropagationContextExporter not bound)

When I substitute tyrex-1.0.jar, downloaded from http://tyrex.exolab.org/download.html, for tyrex.jar I get a different error:

javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: Context is read-only

Do I need a particular version of the tyrex jar to move forward? (I am using jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3)

I was able to get tyrex working on jboss 3.x by doing the following:
1. uncomment tyrex plugin in varia/build.xml in source code
2. build jboss 3.x
3. download tyrex 1.0 and remove jndi.properties from jar file
4. copy tyrex.jar and xerces.jar from tyrex distribution to server/default/lib
5. copy tyrex plug-in jar from varia/output/lib to server/default/lib
5. uncomment tyrex plug-in and comment out default transaction service (leave XID factory in place)
I haven't done extensive testing with it, but everything starts up OK

You also need the domain.xml file from jboss 2.4

This will make the tyrex transaction manager to start successfully, but does not work correctly when attempting a distributed transaction. This means calling a bean on jboss server 1 which in turn calls another session bean that resides on a deifferent jboss server. If you attempt this you will get an exception.

Someone needs to take a look at this very important issue.

Thanks for your reply about how to use Tyrex impl. in JBOSS.( it clear's some steps for me, but I have some questions:
1) I have JBOSS 3.2.1 - and there are no any "transaction" implementation description in file jboss-service.xml, default JBOSS transaction impl. resides in transaction-service.xml file.
Is it correct to put such lines:


../conf/default/domain.xml

in transaction-service.xml file for JBOSS 3.2.1 ?

2) Is it possible to put only tyrex-tm-plugin.jar to /lib without building JBOSS? ( and where can I get the source for tyrex-tm-plugin.jar?)

Tnaks for any reply .....
