AlfrescoRuntimeException : Transaction must be active

[cblandin]

Hello,

I implemented my own AuthenticationFilter (I took for example the NovellIChainsHTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter) to configure a CAS authentication.
The communication with the CAS server seems to work but when I set the authentication

authComponent.setCurrentUser(userName);‍

  in the function setAuthenticatedUser(HttpServletRequest req, HttpSession httpSess, String userName) of my filter (it comes from NovellIChainsHTTPRequestAuthenticationFilter) I get this error :

Does someone know what is the problem ?

You need to wrap your code in UserTransaction. There are many examples in the web-client code of this pattern.

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,
I am Alfresco 2.0 and get exactly the same error.  I am not sure what you mean by wrap your code with UserTransaction.   Can you give some more details or a link or something.

Thanks

If you download the SDK there are many examples of client code, here is a snippet that will work in a servlet:

UserTransaction tx = null;
try
{
   tx = Repository.getServiceRegistry(servletContext).getTransactionService().getUserTransaction();
   tx.begin();
   
   // your code here…
   // …
   
   // commit the transaction
   tx.commit();
}
catch (Throwable err)
{
   try { if (tx != null) {tx.rollback();} } catch (Exception tex) {}
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Hi

I do have usertransaction wrapper around the code.  I still get the same error.  I am using the CASAuthenticationFilter code directly from this link…
