SeamTest without commit

[jwi.jwi.informationsdesign.de]

After generating a project with seam-gen, a test runs with no exceptions and completes, but there are no database entries... it looks like there is no commit.
Also, in the logged hibernate-SQL-statements there are no inserts/updates to be found.

Any ideas ?

here are the relevant files...
