This is mi relevant code. EJB3 @Stateful(name = "DiccionarioEJB") @Remote(value = RemoteEJBService.class) public class DiccionarioEJB extends AbstractSessionFacade implements         DiccionarioRemote {     private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(DiccionarioEJB.class);     @Resource(mappedName = "java:/smsds")     private DataSource dataSource;     @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)     @TransactionTimeout(500)     public ResultObtenerDiccionario obtenerDiccionario(AbstractCommand command) {         testConnection();         try {             // sleeps 20 seconds             Thread.sleep(20000);             testConnection();         } catch (Throwable t) {             System.out.println("SUCCESS! Expected tx timeout error");             t.printStackTrace();             return null;         }         return null;     }     private void testConnection() {         Connection conn = null;         try {             conn = this.dataSource.getConnection();             System.out.println("Got connection");         } catch (Throwable t) {             System.out                     .println("Error while getting connection from tx aware datasource: ");             throw new RuntimeException(t);         } finally {             if (conn != null) {                 try {                     conn.close();                 } catch (SQLException e) {                     System.out.println("Error closing connection "                             + e.getMessage());                 }             }         }     } } JTA timeout set to 10 seconds <!-- JBoss Transactions JTA -->    <mbean code="com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerService"       name="jboss:service=TransactionManager">       <attribute name="TransactionTimeout">10</attribute>       <attribute name="ObjectStoreDir">${jboss.server.data.dir}/tx-object-store</attribute>    </mbean> Log 15:18:07,252 WARN  [arjLoggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.coordinator.BasicAction_58] - Abort of action id 7f000101:a89c:4c9b9942:32 invoked while multiple threads active within it. 15:18:07,252 WARN  [arjLoggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.coordinator.CheckedAction_2] - CheckedAction::check - atomic action 7f000101:a89c:4c9b9942:32 aborting with 1 threads active! 15:19:24,903 INFO  [STDOUT] Error while getting connection from tx aware datasource: 15:19:25,740 INFO  [STDOUT] SUCCESS!

What is wrong?
