Scalsys Technologies - JTA Integration with Liferay Tomcat Using JOTM Liferay Version : 6.0.6 CE Tomcat LR Gurus, For any enterprise level of application, Transaction is most important thing to create reliability and generate faith in users towards application. If it fails to do so it will loose popularity.

By default Liferay supports Hibernate Transaction Manager which do not supports distributed transaction management. Steps: Need to enable following properties in portal-ext.properties. transaction.manager.impl=org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager transaction.manager.property.allowCustomIsolationLevels=true jdbc.default.jndi.name=jdbc/LiferayPool This will indicate the Liferay to use JTA transaction manager rather than the default one Thanks & Regards, ScalSys Team attachments
