Injecting @Resource UserTransaction results in null

[B Nirvan]

I am trying to use JTA transactions (without EJB) in my JPA project. I am trying to inject UserTransaction using the following code in one of my java class

    @Resource
    UserTransaction tran;

but nothing gets injected and the tran variable is null. Am I missing out any configuration steps. I am using Glassfish V3.

They need to be on the same line like this:

@Resource UserTransaction tran;

Thanks, but that doesn't work either.

Is it possible to inject @Resource UserTransaction into a non-managed object (object created with new).
