Best Tomcat6 JNDI + Hibernate configuration for session/transaction support
- by EugeneP
I use tomcat6 as a servlet container, and need to integrate Hibernate 3.2 into the project.
I found a document how to configure SessionFactory lookup through JNDI, though it does not work as expected.
Quote:
Hibernate works in any environment that uses JTA, in fact, we recommend to use JTA whenever possible as it is the standard Java transaction interface.
End of quote.
In hibernate config I indicate current_session_context_class = jta
and now I get an error "No TransactionManagerLookup specified".
The problem is that Tomcat does not support JTA, and to get it worked,
if I understand it correctly,
you need to add JOTM or other library to Tomcat.
But according to quote it is recommended to use JTA.
What can you recommend in this situation?
