Does JBoss 7.1.1 provide a JNDI-based JTA transaction manager?

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm using JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final. Is there a JNDI JTA transaction manager that Jboss provides that I can use with my Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE application? Where is it and what's it called? I'm using Spring 3.1's persistence.xml-less configuration for my application but I'm getting errors about not being able to find a transaction manager. Here's my Spring config …

	<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="packagesToScan" value="org.mainco.subco" />
        <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
            <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter"/>
        </property>
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="jpaPropertyMap" ref="jpaPropertyMap" />
    </bean>

	<util:map id="jpaPropertyMap">
		<entry key="show_sql" value="true" />
		<entry key="dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
		<entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="validate" />
    	<entry key="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory"/>
    	<entry key="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider"/>
    	<entry key="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="true" />
    	<entry key="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="false" />
    	<entry key="hibernate.generate_statistics" value="false" />
	</util:map>
	
	<bean id="entityManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.SharedEntityManagerBean">
		<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
	</bean>

	<!-- Application properties -->
	<bean id="propertyConfigurer"
		class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="locations">
			<list>
				<value>classpath:application.properties</value>
			</list>
		</property>
		<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true" />
	</bean>

	<jee:jndi-lookup jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/MySqlDS" id="dataSource" expected-type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
	
	<tx:jta-transaction-manager />

	…
	<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />

I did a search through the JBOss configs for anything called "TransactionManager," but no dice. Here's how I define my datasource in JBoss' $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/conf/standalone.xml file …

            <datasources>
                <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/MySqlDS" pool-name="MySqlDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
                    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb</connection-url>
                    <driver>mysql</driver>
                    <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
                    <pool>
                        <min-pool-size>10</min-pool-size>
                        <max-pool-size>100</max-pool-size>
                        <prefill>true</prefill>
                    </pool>
                    <security>
                        <user-name>mydb</user-name>
                        <password>mydb</password>
                    </security>
                    <statement>
                        <prepared-statement-cache-size>32</prepared-statement-cache-size>
                        <share-prepared-statements>true</share-prepared-statements>
                    </statement>
                </datasource>
                <drivers>
                    <driver name="mysql" module="com.mysql"/>
                </drivers>
            </datasources>

Thanks for any guidance, - Dave
