jboss seam 2.2.0.GA
jboss AS 5.1.0.GA

upgrading a project that have been running successfully for months on seam 2.1 i have ran in to a problem with Transaction Management. i can seem to find what changed from 2.1 to 2.2.0 and as many of you have realized this is by far the most confusing aspect of this glorious framework.

as i said before this code had been running flawlessly .... (i'll truncate for simplicity)

@Name("nightlyProcessingTMAction")
@Stateless
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class NightlyProcessingTMAction implements NightlyProcessingTMLocal {
     
     @In
     private EntityManager entityManager;
     
     @Resource
     UserTransaction serTransaction;
     
     
     public Boolean nightlyProcess() {
              try{
//extend timeout          
          serTransaction.setTransactionTimeout(1000000);
          serTransaction.begin();
                entityManager.joinTransaction();

          //purge the tpinventory table to tell if any have been deleted
          Query tppurge = (Query) entityManager.createNativeQuery("delete from Tpinventory");
          tppurge.executeUpdate();
          entityManager.flush();
          serTransaction.commit();
         } catch (Exception e1) {
             // failed to set the transaction timeout => just log some content
             e1.printStackTrace();
         }
          
          return true;
     }
     @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.SUPPORTS)
     public void processIncoming(){
          //do a bunch of processing that if an error occurs we dont want the a huge roll back.. just the one transaction
                // that we join and dispose of after each persist. as above...

        }
          

this was a good solution that we worked very hard on less than a year ago.

im pretty sure this has something to do with the changes to the transaction management in 2.2.0

the error

whats happened too me here? as i said this method was working very well... and still is in production with 2.1.0 on a jboss 5 installation.
ive been reading everything i can find trying to figure out what is going on.
i found this article  DeployingToJboss5
but that isnt quite the same thing.

any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
