Arquillian + Hibernate 4 + JBoss 7 Embedded/Remote fails with a NPE

[m1ckey]

Hi,

I'm getting the same error as the one described here: http://community.jboss.org/message/618455#618455

It's a NullPointerException in Hibernate at

See the source code for this class: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/blob/4.0.0.Beta1/hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/engine/transaction/internal/jta/JtaStatusHelper.java

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.hibernate.engine.transaction.internal.jta.JtaStatusHelper.getStatus(JtaStatusHelper.java:72) [hibernate-core-4.0.0.Beta1.jar:4.0.0.Beta1]

I tried updating my JBoss 7 to use a newer version of Hibernate (Beta4), but with no luck.

I assume it's something to do with transaction manager being not available.

The code I wrote is available here: https://github.com/m1key/audiolicious/tree/WithJBossIntegrationTests
