Hi,

I have two @Stateful EJB components, both session scoped, both with extended persistence contexts. I'm trying to have one component update its state to reflect the results of a transaction in the other component.

In one component method I call:

Events.instance().raiseTransactionSuccessEvent("changeEvent")

In the other component I have:

@Observer("changeEvent")
public void handleChangeEvent() {
    // Re-query to reflect changes
}

The method is also declared on the @Local interface.
I have also tried it with the @Transactional annotation.

However, in both cases, I receive the following (abbreviated) exception:

11:05:24,093 ERROR [TxPolicy] IllegalStateException while setting transaction for rollback only
java.lang.IllegalStateException: [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.inactive] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.inactive] The transaction is not active!

...

11:05:24,171 ERROR [SynchronizationRegistry] Exception processing transaction Synchronization after completion
javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: No active JTA transaction on joinTransaction call

...

Caused by: javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: No active JTA transaction on joinTransaction call
        at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.joinTransaction(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:469)

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to start and commit the transaction myself, with UserTransaction?

Thanks!
