Hi ,

I am stuck in an issue and need your help on it.

I have an ejb (Bean1) where in a transaction is started.
From this ejb (Bean1) if I call another ejb(Bean2), and anything wrong happens in Bean2, whole of the transaction is rolled back.
This is controlled by the Jboss.

My query is..
If from Bean1, I make a call to some utility class which makes entires into DB and if an error happens in Bean1 , after utility class commits the DB changes. How can I rollback the changes made in utility class.

In short, how is the transaction in EJB3 propagated to utility class?

I am using hibernate in utility class and the application server used is JBoss4.

I set hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class
and set hibernate.transaction.factory_class to org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory

My code in utility class..

UserTransaction tx = (UserTransaction)new InitialContext()
.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");


try {
tx.begin();

// Do some work
saved object using hibernate session

tx.commit();
}
catch (RuntimeException e) {
tx.rollback();
throw e; // or display error message
}



I get an error which says the transaction is not active.


Can you please tell what could be the problem?

Thanks,

David
