...thread is already associated with a transaction! --------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAM-138 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAM-138 Project: Seam 3 Distribution Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1.0.Final Environment: Windows, JBPM 5.3.0 Final, Drools 5.4.0 Final, JBOSS 7.0.2 Final Reporter: Andrea Carpineti Labels: jta, transaction I believe the issue is related to Seam but I'm not completely sure... Using the JBPM console sometimes we experienced an issue due to which the deployed processes are no longer available. They simply disappear. Although the issue is not always repro we experienced it mainly after several minutes of use. Lookin in the {{server.log}} we found the following exceptions: {quote} 10:41:15,751 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host]] (http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8080-76) Exception sending request initialized lifecycle event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.transaction.TransactionServletListener: javax.enterprise.event.ObserverException at sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor243.newInstance(Unknown Source) [:1.6.0_31] at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27) [:1.6.0_31] at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:513) [:1.6.0_31] at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:355) [:1.6.0_31] at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308) [:1.6.0_31] at org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.SecureReflections$16.work(SecureReflections.java:395) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.SecureReflectionAccess.run(SecureReflectionAccess.java:54) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.SecureReflectionAccess.runAsInstantiation(SecureReflectionAccess.java:216) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.SecureReflections.newInstance(SecureReflections.java:390) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.injection.Exceptions.rethrowException(Exceptions.java:40) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.injection.Exceptions.rethrowException(Exceptions.java:92) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.injection.MethodInjectionPoint.invokeOnInstanceWithSpecialValue(MethodInjectionPoint.java:214) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.event.ObserverMethodImpl.sendEvent(ObserverMethodImpl.java:282) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.event.ObserverMethodImpl.sendEvent(ObserverMethodImpl.java:265) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.event.ObserverMethodImpl.notify(ObserverMethodImpl.java:234) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.manager.BeanManagerImpl.notifyObservers(BeanManagerImpl.java:635) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.manager.BeanManagerImpl.fireEvent(BeanManagerImpl.java:628) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.weld.event.EventImpl.fire(EventImpl.java:75) [weld-core-1.1.2.Final.jar:2011-07-26 15:02] at org.jboss.seam.transaction.TransactionServletListener.requestInitialized(TransactionServletListener.java:117) [seam-transaction-3.1.0.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:142) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:362) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:877) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:667) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:952) [jbossweb-7.0.1.Final.jar:7.0.2.Final] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) [:1.6.0_31] Caused by: javax.transaction.NotSupportedException: BaseTransaction.checkTransactionState - thread is already associated with a transaction!
