    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12947544#comment-12947544 ] 

Scott Marlow commented on WFLY-2936:
------------------------------------

I saw this error on another jira recently (WFLY-2960).  From the attached server.log, you can see the exception comes from a check in [AllowedMethodsInformation|https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/ejb3/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/ejb3/component/allowedmethods/AllowedMethodsInformation.java#L137] that (like the message indicates), the application attempted to access the UserTransaction from a container managed transaction.  

The attempt to look up the UT, is coming from Seam org.jboss.seam.transaction.Transaction.getUserTransaction() which isn't going to work from CMT beans in WildFly 8.0.

The AllowedMethodsInformation.realCheckPermission() check is doing what it was intended to do.  Can we relax the UserTransaction part of the check to not throw an error?

> The error is fired when attempting to call a transaction-enabled EJB method, from a seam component. Specifically the authentication component.
> In order to get to this position, the project's deployment descriptors had to be migrated. Furthermore, mojarra version 1.2_15 was deployed to WildFly, as described by this link: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/DesignOfWildFlyMulti-JSFFeature
