Java Version

This is weird, I am not sure why I am getting it. I have an application that makes some calculations that take some considerable time, and I persist the results. I run my application with 100 records from the database and everything works fine. I run my application with 60.000 records from the database and I am getting the above error message. The exception happens when the flush() method is called on the EntityManager. If I am to have a wild guess I’d say that there is a transaction time out (it is set to 30 seconds in the weblogic console) and therefore when the flush() method is called there is no active transaction.

Anyway I managed to overcome this issue by explicitly defining a user transaction

import org.jboss.seam.transaction.Transaction;
import org.jboss.seam.transaction.UserTransaction;
...
...

UserTransaction ut = Transaction.instance();
ut.begin();
...
...
ut.commit();

If you have any idea why this is happening please leave a comment.

UPDATE: Now the first transaction (the one with 100 records) fails. It complains that there is already one transaction active when I try to start a new one. I guess I need to revert my code and to increase the transaction timeout on the weblogic console, this would solve both issues.
