yangju commented on AS7-1358:
-----------------------------

I checked the jboss admin console. The value of jndi java:jboss/UserTransaction is listed as unknown. Maybe this is the problem? I read Seam transaction 3.1.0's code, it does look up this jndi. What's the value for that jndi in your jboss admin console?

> JBoss Seam offers Asynchronous behaviour for non-EJB environments using a Quartz dispatcher. Asynchronous behaviour may also make use of Seam's @Transactional marker to demarcate tx boundaries.
> Since testing one of our applications in AS7 I noticed Seam "could not discover transaction status" error messages reported as our application ran async sections of code.
> Examining the Seam code, I could see that Seam would make two attempts to access a JNDI UserTransaction resource:
> 1 - context.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
> If an NameNotFoundException is thrown, then attempt:
> 2 - context.lookup("UserTransaction");
> Under AS6 and below, the latter attempt would succeed.  Under AS7 attempts are currently failing.
> While looking into this issue I came across the following developer discussion which suggests that it might be possible to add a "java:/jboss/UserTransaction" resource:
> http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-as7-dev/2011-June/002298.html
> Further discussion on my AS7 user forum thread lead to the suggestion that I myself might add this behaviour.
> I have followed the implementation hints and light testing has been successful (with appropriate mods to Seam to use the new resource name).  I aim to perform some more thorough testing on this shortly and submit a patch against this issue.
