Error while setting up JOTM 2.0.9 with Spring 1.2.6 and Tomcat 5.5.12

[dkalcevich]

Everyone,

I am trying to setup JOTM within Spring and am running into some errors. My applicationContext.xml looks like this:

<bean id="jotm" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JotmFactoryBea n"/>

<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransaction Manager">
<property name="userTransaction">
<ref local="jotm"/>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="innerDataSource"
class="org.enhydra.jdbc.standard.StandardXADataSource"
destroy-method="shutdown">
<!--<property name="transactionManager" ref="jotm"/>-->
<property name="transactionManager">
<ref local="jotm"/>
</property>
<property name="driverName" value="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"/>
<property name="url"
value="jdbc:inetdae7:sql_server:1433?database=db_DEV"/>
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.enhydra.jdbc.pool.StandardXAPoolDataSource"
destroy-method="shutdown">
<property name="dataSource">
<ref local="innerDataSource"/>
</property>
<property name="user" value="user"/>
<property name="password" value="pass"/>
</bean>

<bean id="sqlMapClient"
class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactory Bean">
<property name="configLocation" value="WEB-INF/sqlmap-config.xml"/>
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>

<bean id="testDAO" class="test.TestDAOImpl">
<property name="sqlMapClient" ref="sqlMapClient"/>
</bean>

The exception i get when I startup Spring is:

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Read the javadocs - from your error it appears that you should inject the transaction manager and not the jtom bean.

[dkalcevich]

Thanks for the response. However, when I inject the transactionManager into the JtaTransactionManager, I get the following error:

I've checked the wiki and the javadocs and the following configuration (identical to yours I think) appears to be correct:


<bean id="jotm" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JotmFactoryBea n"/>

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransaction Manager">
<property name="userTransaction" ref="jotm"/>
</bean>

<bean id="innerDataSource" class="org.enhydra.jdbc.standard.StandardXADataSource" destroy-method="shutdown">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="jotm"/>
<property name="driverName" value="..."/>
<property name="url" value="..."/>
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.enhydra.jdbc.pool.StandardXAPoolDataSource" destroy-method="shutdown">
<property name="dataSource" ref="innerDataSource"/>
<property name="user" value="..."/>
<property name="password" value="..."/>
<property name="maxSize" value="..."/>
</bean>

Have your tried other versions?- maybe there have been some
recent changes inside Jotm that broke the functionality.
The jotm factory bean needs to be injected since that represents
the TransactionManager implementation.

[Costin Leau]

Btw, maybe you should check your jars - there is no public release of JOTM 2.0.9 (at least not on the official site: http://jotm.objectweb.org/). Moreover in your logs I see <JOTM 2.0.10>.
Moreover the current object returned by Jotm does implement the javax.transaction.TransactionManager interface (from checking the javadocs available here: http://jotm.objectweb.org/current/jotm/jdoc/).
Try doing some tests and see what is the actual object retrieved from jotm and that is suppose to be injected. Turn on some logging and see what Spring does.

[TraceyAnnison]

I have exactly the same problem! I downloaded the most recently recommended version of JOTM, (jotm-2.0.10) and implemented it with Tomcat5.5 and Spring 1.2.8 as described in the docs, and it fails with the same error :

This is from a spring xml setting :

<bean id="txManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransaction Manager">
<property name="userTransaction">
<ref bean="userTransaction"/>
</property>
</bean>

And a context.xml setting :

<Transaction name="UserTransaction" auth="Container"
type="javax.transaction.UserTransaction"
factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory"
jotm.timeout="60"/>

Though using this context.xml setting doesn't help :

<Resource name="UserTransaction" auth="Container"
type="javax.transaction.UserTransaction"/>

<ResourceParams name="UserTransaction">
<parameter>
<name>factory</name>
<value>org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>jotm.timeout</name>
<value>60</value>
</parameter>
</ResourceParams>

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Any help would be much appreciated,

I double check the JOTM site and javadocs (http://jotm.objectweb.org/current/jotm/jdoc/org/objectweb/jotm/Current.html)and, as I said in my previous post things seem to be in order - org.objectweb.jotm.Current class does implement the UserTransaction. The conversion might fail if the classes are somehow loaded by two different classloaders though I doubt this is the case: are you using JPA by any chance?
Try running some small tests - have a very simple webapp and just check that the TM setup works in there.
