InitialContext does not contains UserTransaction

[Marco.Huber]

Hi experts,

I try since days to obtain the UserTransaction from the InitialContext. I found the following message suggesting that there is a UserTransaction in the context of the application : http://www.nabble.com/UserTransaction-in-openejb-td19313741.html

I always get a NameNotFoundException, if I want to do something like :

context.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");

We initialize the InitialContext as followed:

Properties startupProperties = new Properties();
Context context = null;
startupProperties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory");
startupProperties.put("openejb.deployments.classpath.ear", "true");
startupProperties.put("openejb.jndiname.format","{deploymentId}/{interfaceType.annotationName}");
startupProperties.put("openejb.altdd.prefix", "test");
startupProperties.put("openejb.validation.output.level", "VERBOSE");
context = new InitialContext(startupProperties);

Now I have debugged the openEjb source (version 3.1) and saw that the UserTransaction is set correctly at start up in the Assembler.createTransactionManager(TransactionServiceInfo serviceInfo) method into the JNDI context, but later the LocalInitialContext class is initialized with the Context getContainerSystemEjbContext() method, obtaining the "java:openejb/ejb" context inside the JNDI context:

private static Context getContainerSystemEjbContext() throws NamingException {
    ContainerSystem containerSystem = SystemInstance.get().getComponent(ContainerSystem.class);
(1) Context context = containerSystem.getJNDIContext();
(2) context = (Context) context.lookup("java:openejb/ejb");
    return context;
}

I found out that the context of the SystemInstance (1) contains a UserTransaction, the lookup openejb/ejb context (2) not.

Did I miss a start up property? Or why will the InitialContext is initialized with "java:openejb/ejb" context from JNDI that does not contains the java:comp namespace.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Marco

Hi Jean-Louis,

Thank you for your answers.
The line duplication did it.
But that's a really strange behaviour that I have to call "new InitialContext" twice :-(

Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco,

Can you duplicate the line

context = new InitialContext(startupProperties);

I already found such a behavior but I'm currently not able to know it's sometimes necessary.

JLouis

Marco,

You're definitely right !
As far as I know, the InitialContext returned by OpenEJB is not well bound when the InitialContext is used to bootstrap the container.

I have to spend some time to look deeper.

Jean-Louis

It is strange behavior and definitely high on the list of things to fix.
