Hibernate + glassfish + JTA = freeze

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy an webapp on glassfish 3.0.1.

It use spring 3.0.5.

Originally it works on tomcat with spring hibernate local transation factory.
As Glassfish is a full JEE server, I'm trying to use JtaTransactionManager

Under tomcat, my configuration is :

Code:

---

<bean id="sessionFactory"
                class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
                <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml" />
                <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        </bean>

        <bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
                <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"></property>
        </bean>

        <bean id="transactionManager"
                class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
                <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
                <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        </bean>

        <tx:annotation-driven/>

        <bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
                destroy-method="close">
                <property name="driverClass" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}" />
                <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${jdbc.url}" />
                <property name="user" value="${jdbc.username}" />
                <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
                <property name="initialPoolSize" value="4"/>
                <property name="maxPoolSize" value="30"/>
                <property name="idleConnectionTestPeriod" value="3600"/>
        </bean>

---

I just change the transaction manager to

Code:

---

<bean id="transactionManager"
                class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
        </bean>

---

But hibernate is freezing when loading sessionFactory !

Do I missed something ?

1 question... Why... Do you need xa transactions, do you need distributed transactions? If not don't use a jta transaction manager it makes things (in general) more complex then needed.

Anyways... For starters use tx:jta-transaction-manager instead of JtaTransactionManager... Next to that post your hibernate configuration and make sure that you configured hibernate for jta transactions.

You are right, I don't need any XA transaction...

I had parameter hibernate.transaction.factory_class to define JTA transaction factory in hibernate configuration file :

Code:

---

<hibernate-configuration>
  <session-factory>
    <property name="hibernate.format_sql">false</property>
    <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
    <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory</property>
    ... Here all my mapping files...
   
  </session-factory>

---

I put <tx:jta-transaction-manager> instead of declaration of the bean transactionManager, but no better success !
