Seam persistence with Web Service

[paradigmza]

Hello,

I am trying to use Seam managed persistence (Seam Application Framework) with a web service on Jboss 4.0.5 with ws 1.2.1 and seam 1.2.1.

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT)
public class JustSwipeService {

 @WebMethod
 public boolean saveSettlement(Settlement settlement) throws Exception {
 SettlementHome settlementHome = (SettlementHome) Component.getInstance(
 "settlementHome", true);
 settlementHome.setInstance(settlement);
 settlementHome.persist();
 return true;
 }

}

When I call this I get the exception

11:15:50,459 ERROR [SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS] SOAP request exception
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: No active JTA transaction on joinTransaction call
at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.joinTransaction(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:469)
at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.joinTransaction(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:442)
at org.jboss.seam.persistence.EntityManagerProxy.joinTransaction(EntityManagerProxy.java:113)
at org.jboss.seam.framework.EntityHome.persist(EntityHome.java:47)

is there an elegant way to solve this?

Thanks
Sean.

Solved it, just had to annotate the persist method (which I had overridden)

@Transactional

How did you get this to work at all? None of the Seam contexts are available from a web service in Seam 1.2.1.

I'm trying to do the same thing but when looking up the component I get a "No application context active"
