Can you elaborate your test case? Looks like you are using PojoCache. If that's the case, 1) if you are using tx yourself, getCurrentTransaction() will return that tx, 2) if you are not, then I will detect it and initiate a transaction internally. In this case, getCurrentTransaction should not be null either. So I am a bit puzzled. Thanks, -Ben View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3956825#...
