Hi, I have tried to play with <jta-datasource> and <non-jta-datasource> as follows.
I have the following peristence.xml in a web application. *********** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"; version="1.0"> <!-- Tutorial "unit" --> <persistence-unit name="Tutorial" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL"> <provider>org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl</provider> <non-jta-data-source>ProductDS-nonJTA</non-jta-data-source> <mapping-file>orm.xml</mapping-file> <class>samples.jpa.Product</class> <class>samples.jpa.Book</class> </persistence-unit> </persistence> *********** In the servlet, I have the following code *********** @PersistenceContext(unitName="Tutorial") private EntityManager em; ..... .... UserTransaction ut; try{ Context ctx = new InitialContext(); //ut = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); //ut.begin(); //EntityTransaction et = em.getTransaction(); //et.begin(); Book book = new Book("DDDDD","John",1.0,"Joe","1934834-23823","Phani"); em.persist(book); //et.commit(); //ut.commit(); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); throw new ServletException (e); } *********************** 1. When I hit the servlet, I get the following error. *********************** javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException : No Active transaction *********************** 2. Suppose I have the following code in the servlet ********************** *********** @PersistenceContext(unitName="Tutorial") private EntityManager em; ..... .... UserTransaction ut; try{ Context ctx = new InitialContext(); //ut = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); //ut.begin(); //Uncomment EntityTransaction EntityTransaction et = em.getTransaction(); et.begin(); Book book = new Book("DDDDD","John",1.0,"Joe","1934834-23823","Phani"); em.persist(book); et.commit(); //ut.commit(); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); throw new ServletException (e); } *********************** I get the following error *********************** java.lang.IllegalStateException : You can not call getTransaction on a container managed EntityManager ************************* 3. Only if I use JTA API, I am able to get the entity persisted properly as below. *************************** @PersistenceContext(unitName="Tutorial") private EntityManager em; ..... .... UserTransaction ut; try{ Context ctx = new InitialContext(); ut = (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); ut.begin(); Book book = new Book("DDDDD","John",1.0,"Joe","1934834-23823","Phani"); em.persist(book); ut.commit(); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); throw new ServletException (e); } **************************** Please note that I am using "RESOURCE_LOCAL" persistence unit. I also used <non-jta-datasource>. I deployed the database pool with </no-transaction> tag in the connector deployment plan. My questions are 1. Should we always use UserTransaction object irrespective of <jta-datasource> or <non-jta-datasource> in JEE environment?? 2. How is the use of <non-jta-datsource> different from the use <jta-datasource> in JEE environment?? 3. In EJBs, when ContainerManaged Transactions are used, there is no need to use JTA. Is that correct?? 4. Only in J2SE environments, we can use EntityTransaction object. is that correct?? Thanks in advance. Phani On 5/28/08, David Jencks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1.
