I'm using Activiti(5.10) on JBoss 7 with EJB3.1+JPA2+JTA,

After completing one task which has jpa-entity variable, application crashes when activiti tryies to retrieve jpa entity from the DB with the folowing stack:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: A JTA EntityManager cannot use getTransaction()

I can see there is method in the EntityManagerSessionImpl:

  protected boolean isTransactionActive() {
    if (handleTransactions && entityManager.getTransaction() != null) {
      return entityManager.getTransaction().isActive();
    }
    return false;
  }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think entityManager.getTransaction() is not applicable for JTA case, or I'm wrong?

Workaround

Remove:
<br> protected boolean isTransactionActive() {&hellip;}<br>
and

<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TransactionListener jpaTransactionCommitListener = new TransactionListener() {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; &hellip;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; };<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TransactionListener jpaTransactionRollbackListener = new TransactionListener() {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; &hellip;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; };<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TransactionContext transactionContext = Context.getCommandContext().getTransactionContext();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; transactionContext.addTransactionListener(TransactionState.COMMITTED, jpaTransactionCommitListener);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; transactionContext.addTransactionListener(TransactionState.ROLLED_BACK, jpaTransactionRollbackListener);<br>
This is not a production solution it is just workaround for JTA. I hope it will be fixed in the future


Regads,
