Spring + WebLogicJtaTransactionManager issue

[csergiu77]

I use WLS 10.3
I had this transaction manager configured

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

and it is ok.

Now since business logic changed and i need to use distributed transactions
i replaced the transaction manager with:

<bean id="transactionManager" autowire="byName"
        class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.WebLogicJtaTransactionManager">
        <property name="transactionManagerName" value="javax.transaction.TransactionManager" />       
    </bean>

but i get this

        at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:173)

Can someone give me a hint why ?

Thanks

Apparently the problem was solved by adding autowire="autodetect"

	<bean id="transactionManager" autowire="autodetect"
        class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.WebLogicJtaTransactionManager">
        <property name="transactionManagerName" value="javax.transaction.TransactionManager" />       
    </bean>

Do not know for sure why i will still investigate.
