          ok, after some research and modifications, i didnt get the above exception anymore, the aplication deploys but when i try to access a page shown bellow i get the following exception:

          "23:24:35,576 SEVERE [viewhandler] Error Rendering View[/employees.xhtml]
          javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException
                  at org.jboss.ejb3.tx.Ejb3TxPolicy.handleInCallerTx(Ejb3TxPolicy.java:115)
          "

          Here is the employees.xhtml page:
          -----------------------------
          ...
          <f:view>
                   <h:form>
                         <h:dataTable value="#{employees}" var="emp" >
                          <h:column>
                              <f:facet name="header" >Employee ID</f:facet>
                              <h:outputText>
                                  #{emp.employeeId}
                              </h:outputText>
                          </h:column>
                      </h:dataTable>
                   </h:form>
          </f:view>
          ...

          Here is the stateless session bean
          -----------------------------------
          @Stateless
          @Name("employeeManager")
          public class EmployeesBeanBean implements EmployeesBeanLocal {

              @PersistenceContext(unitName = "SeamFacelets-ejbPU")
              EntityManager em;

              @SuppressWarnings("unused")   
              @DataModel
              List<Employees> employees;

              @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
              @Factory("employees")
              public void findEmployees() {
                  System.out.println("finding employees....");
                  employees = em.createQuery("select e from Employees e").getResultList();
              }
