[jboss-as7-dev] Issue with access to java:comp/UserTransaction from non EE threads

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hi Guys,

I've written a little app (using Seam 3, RichFaces, a bunch of our projects,
but namely Seam Persistence.) While working with Scott Marlow, we discovered
that the reason for this failure: http://pastebin.com/KC7v90YK, is because
the thread attempting to access the UserTransaction is outside of the EE
threads: http://pastie.org/2010007

This works well on JBoss AS6, but does not on AS7. Wondering if we should
loosen up the access to the UserTransaction to anonymous/non-EE threads.

In addition, when deploying the application on the latest snapshots, I have
been getting weird Weld failures. Seems like Weld is not in a usable state
by the time my @Stateful EJB is requesting for an @Inject BeanManager.

Thoughts welcomed.
