failed to recover transaction (and a NPE)

[jleinawe]

I killed the jboss server and now when I try to start it, I see this warning.   How do I get rid of it?

I'm having a very similar problem, but in my case the failure to recover from a transaction seems (?) to be blocking deployment of my app.  In desperation I removed my JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final project directory, unpacked it again from the original zip, and tried again.  Yet the same message/error/problem is still occurring.  I have no idea where these transactions are cached!  Please advise.
