Workaround:
--------------------------------

Add the following to your components.xml file, and replace "myPersistenceUnit" with your real entry.

persistence:entity-manager-factory name="myPersistenceUnit"/>    
<persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" auto-create="true" entity-manager-factory="#{myPersistenceUnit}"/>

You may also need to add the following to your persistence.xml file if it is not there:

<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup"/>
