Hello,

I have the following transaction synchronization problem in WebSphere 6,
when invoking an ejb with transaction required attribute from a transactional spring service.


I get the following exception:
##################################
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No transaction associated with this thread
at com.ibm.ws.Transaction.JTA.TranManagerImpl.commit( TranManagerImpl.java(Compiled Code))

#####################################

If I start the transaction by first going through another ejb, everything is fine,
i.e. spring participates with this transaction and properly propagates it to
all other ejb calls.

Has anyone else seen problems in mapping Spring transactions onto
Websphere CMT transactions?

I use the following Spring transaction configuration:

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTran sactionManager">
<property name="userTransactionName">
<null />
</property>
<property name="transactionManager">
<bean class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.WebSphe reTransactionManagerFactoryBean" />
</property>
</bean>

Thanks for your help,

Michael
