BaseTransaction.checkTransactionState - thread is already associated with a transaction

[monkeyden]

I have a controller component (PayorAccountController) which is managing a Stack of EntityHome instances (PayorAccountHome).  I have some other stub methods (not included) which don't do anything at the moment.  I originally tried nested conversations to get a recursive EntityHome effect but that was an unpredictable nightmare.  In PayorAccountController, after the line with current.setPayerId(payerId) I get this exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: BaseTransaction.checkTransactionState - [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.alreadyassociated] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.alreadyassociated] thread is already associated with a transaction!

Clearly it appears that Seam is attempting to create another transaction, when one is already available.  Is there anything else required of my bean to get this to work?

The controller

@Name("payorAcountController")
@Scope(CONVERSATION)
public class PayorAccountController {
    private Stack<PayorAccountHome> payers;

    public void setPayerId(Integer payerId) {
        log.debug("Loading payer #0", payerId);

        //create new PayorAccountHome with the id
        PayorAccountHome current = (PayorAccountHome)Component.getInstance(PayorAccountHome.class, true);
        current.setPayerId(payerId);//this just calls EntityHome.setId()

        //push it onto the list
        payers.push(current);

        //Set it as the current
        setCurrentPayer(current);
    }

    public String cancel(){
        String result = null;
        payers.pop();

        if(payers.empty()){
            result = "search";
        }else{
            currentPayer = payers.peek();
            result = "edit";
        }
        return result;
    }
    ...

}

The HomeObject

@Name("payorAccountHome")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class PayorAccountHome extends StaticHomeController<Payer> {

    ....
    public Integer getPayerId() {
        return (Integer) getId();
    }

    public void setPayerId(Integer payerId) {
        setId(payerId);
    }

    @Override
    public Payer createInstance(){
        Payer payer = new Payer();
        Country country = countryMap.get(PayorAccountHome.DEFAULT_COUNTRY);
        payer.setCountry(country);

        return payer;
    }

}

Help is appreciated
Thanks

By the way, although it's likely irrelevant, I also begin a LRC in my payor-add-edit.page.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page   xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-2.0.xsd">
    <begin-conversation join="true" flush-mode="manual"/>
    <param name="payerId" value="#{payorAcountController.payerId}"/>
</page>

Anyone?  Sorry for the bump.  I posted this late yesterday (EST), so wanted to get it in front of more people this morning.  I have also tried to call joinTransaction() in the home object's create method, to get it to join the current transaction but to no avail.  Same problem.

@Override @Create
public void create(){
    super.create();
    joinTransaction();
}

Try to add in your components.xml file:

<transaction:ejb-transaction />
