Getting a reference to the current Transaction

Question

In a session bean, I need to call enlistResource(XAResource), an instance method in interface javax.transaction.Transaction, in order to enlist my XAResource object with the current transaction (whether it's a bean-managed or container-managed transaction).
In order to accomplish this, my code therefore needs to be able to obtain a reference to the current transaction, or to the transaction manager (since I could then call TransactionManager's getTransaction() method to obtain the transaction).
Is there a way to do this in IPlanet? (I have found techniques that work for JBoss and BEA, but not IBM.)
[Please note that a reference to a UserTransaction object is of no use, as it provides no enlistResource() method, nor any way to obtain the corresponding Transaction object or the TransactionManager.]

Answer 1

Try
InputStream is =
ThisClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resourceName);
Note this will get a different classloader which uses
the whole class-path.Just as an FYI, class.getResourceAsStream() delegates to the object's ClassLoader, so you can save some typing by omitting the call to getClassLoader(). :o)
