DeltaSpike with JTA data sources

Question

Has anyone tried to setup transactionality in Jetty using Apache's DeltaSpike? I have a webapp that I am trying to run in Jetty that uses CDI and has JTA data sources. My transaction manager is not being injected and it is null, therefore causing an error. I included the deltaspike jpa jar and followed the instruction in the link given below, but it is not working so far. I can see when I debug deep inside the hibernate classes, that my configuration is defaulting to a NOJTAPlatform, as if no JTA was configured.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.deltaspike.modules</groupId>
    <artifactId>deltaspike-jpa-module-impl</artifactId>
    <version>0.5</version>
</dependency>

Link to DeltaSpike configuration:

My data sources as specified in persistence.xml:

<persistence-unit name="database" transaction-type="JTA">
    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
    <jta-data-source>jdbc/myDS</jta-data-source>
    <properties>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"/>
        <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class"/>
        <property name="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings" value="true"/>
    </properties>
</persistence-unit>

Answer 1

Which CDI implementation are you using in Jetty, is it configured properly ?

Make sure that generic CDI injection is working , by trying some simple injections?

Make sure you include the core delta spike dependencies deltaspike-core-api and deltaspike-core-impl

depending on the way that you setup CDI you might also need deltaspike-cdictrl-api and a specific cdictrl api.
