Hey, I suggest you try 5.3 or 5.4 and see how it goes..
5.2 local persistence was a bit different:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/blob/d75849efdb4b149e7169237a5282e7882e701f85/jbpm-human-task/src/main/java/org/jbpm/task/service/TaskServiceSession.java You can see it getting the UserTransaction java:comp/UserTransaction, instead from 5.3 you can see there is a Task TransactionManager:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/blob/master/jbpm-human-task/jbpm-human-task-core/src/main/java/org/jbpm/task/service/persistence/TaskJTATransactionManager.java
If you make some simple unit test in 5.3 or 5.4 I can take a look.
Thanks
Demian
