If you're working on application code, is there a reason you're trying
to use a TransactionManager instead of getting a UserTransaction from
JNDI?  If you're writing a GBean you should have the
TransactionManager injected (configured as a reference) instead of
looking it up.

In any case, it would generally help if you post the stack trace and
double-check to be absolutely sure that it's definitely the
getSingleKernel method that's returning null and not some surrounding
code.  In this particular case I'm not sure how much a stack trace
will help since I'm not sure what SVN revision of Geronimo the WASCE
code is based on and what IBM might have changed, but it's certainly
the case that you don't have much of a chance of a better diagnosis
*without* the stack trace.  :)

Thanks,
