The resource adapter I've written supports local transactions, but for some reason JBoss isn't starting the transaction that my back-end EIS expects to be in progress.

This example works fine in several other containers, so it must be something I'm doing wrong (or not doing) for JBoss. It deploys fine, and the interactions are invoked properly; everything seems to be working properly except for the transaction.

If anyone could offer help I'd appreciate it. Thanks.


The service.xml looks like this:
<!-- The local adapter service configuration for JBoss 3.0.2. -->


<depends optional-attribute-name="ManagedConnectionFactoryName">

eis/DXELocalConnector_JNDI


<config-property name="CacheType" type="java.lang.String">locking</config-property>
