TransactionRequiredLocalException while getting an activity context interface

[rgudepu]

While getting an activity context interface in an SBB, I get a
TransactionRequiredLocalException. I know that this exception occurs
when a mandatory transaction method is invoked without a valid
transaction context.

Here is the scenario I have:

parentSBB receives SIP events with custom messages wrapped in SIP
INFO
parentSBB invokes method call childSBB by passing custom Event.
childSBB interacts with a custom RA
RA creates the activity and returns it back to childSBB
When childSBB tries to create the Activity Context Interface, I get
the exception.

Isn't a new transaction context created by SLEE when the initial event
arrives in the SBB ? How can I get rid of this exception ?


this is what I have in my sbb code
staMonitoringAci =
cstaAciFactory.getActivityContextInterface(cstaMonitoringActivity);

and in the cstaAcifactory implementation I have
public ActivityContextInterface getActivityContextInterface(
CstaMonitoringActivity acivity) throws NullPointerException,
UnrecognizedActivityException, FactoryException {
ActivityContextInterface acii = null;
if (acivity == null)
throw new NullPointerException("=====RECEIVED NULL IN ACIF=====");
try{
acii = new ActivityContextInterfaceImpl(this.serviceContainer,
this.factory.getActivityContext(
new SleeActivityHandle(raEntityName,
((CstaMonitoringActivityImpl)acivity).getHandle(),
serviceContainer))
.getActivityContextId());
}
catch(Exception e){
logger.warn("Exception occured while getting activity context
interface");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return acii;
}
