Passing transaction context to weblogic container

Question

I am developing a java application which is doing some database
updates. It invokes a few EJBs deployed on weblogic server 4.5. Those
beans also do some database updates. I want all the database
operations in a single transaction. The beans are configured to be
bean managed transactions and use weblogic connection pool (weblogic
pool driver)
I want to create a transaction context in the java application and
also want to make EJBs participate in the same context.
Is this really possible to achieve?
Thanks

Hi Bob,
In TestStand 3.0 and later you can pass the sequence context as a CAObjHandle in CVI. The easiest way to get an example of this is to create a blank sequence and insert an Action step. Right-click on the step and select specify module. On the module tab specify a name for the function. Next on the Source Code tab click Create Code... This will prompt you for a location and name for a project file and a c file. It will then create code for you that demonstrates how to pass the sequence context and use it.
If you're using an older version of TestStand then the parameters you can pass are fixed. I would suggest looking at one of the shipping examples. The Register step in the following example demonstates how to pass the sequence context and use it: C:
\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Examples\Demo\C\cpu.seq
(This path will be different depending on your version of TestStand.)
I hope this helps!!
