Hi The following is the programming model I use : I have a JMS listener which is annotated with the @Startup and @AutoCreate annotations. This polls the JMS queue every 'x' minutes and then tries to invoke a Seam component . The Seam component is found and invoked. If the component has any database part ( say reading from a table ) then I get an error that says No active JTA transaction found I have the following questions : Is this a correct model ? Or is there a different programming model ? How do we remove the error ? Is the Seam component not getting the entityManager ? TIA Regards Hari View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4078784#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
