Seam EntityHome subclass call getter fails with TransactionRequiredException: No active JTA transaction on joinTransaction call


I've recently expanded a webapp, but I didn't really extend the functionality. All pages but one work. That one page is supposed to show exactly this:

http://www.bbstats.net/team-home.seam?roster=10

Neither the JSF code nor the DAO/RosterHome classes changed, only the entity classes were updated to support LAZY loading. However, I keep getting the following stack trace:

In the above you can see the RosterHome.getLabel() calls involved (*). Here's the RosterHome code:

@Name("rosterHome")
public class RosterHome extends PersistenceContextEntityHome<Roster>
{
    @Override
    public String getLabel()
    {
        Roster ro = getInstance(); // line 22 is this one!!
        Team te = ro.getTeam();
        TeamType tt = te.getTeamType();
        Club cl = te.getClub();

        String teamName = cl.getName() + " " + te.getOrdinalNbr();
        String fullTeamName = teamName + " (" + cl.getShorthand() + te.getOrdinalNbr() + ")";

        String teamTypeCode = tt.getCode().toUpperCase();
        String teamTypeLabel = tt.getLabel();
        String teamType = teamTypeLabel != null ? teamTypeLabel : teamTypeCode.toUpperCase();

        return fullTeamName + ", " + teamType;
    }

    ...
}

The super class PersistenceContextEntityHome looks like this:

public abstract class PersistenceContextEntityHome<E> extends EntityHome<E>
{   
    @Override
    protected String getPersistenceContextName()
    {
        return "em";
    }

}

Pretty basic stuff there, just a persistence context name.

In the Eclipse console I also get these warnings:

18:05:27,693 WARN  [org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-6) HHH000326: Cannot join transaction: do not override hibernate.transaction.factory_class

I then checked the persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
             version="2.0">
  <persistence-unit name="BBStatsPU" transaction-type="JTA">

    <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BBStatsDS</jta-data-source>

    <!-- Lots of entity and ID classes .......... -->
    <class>com.kawoolutions.bbstats.model.Arena</class>
    ...

    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>

    <properties>
      <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"/>
      <property name="hibernate.transaction.jta.platform" value="com.kawoolutions.bbstats.util.CustomJBossAS7JtaPlatform" />
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Edit:

com.kawoolutions.bbstats.util.CustomJBossAS7JtaPlatform.java:

public class CustomJBossAS7JtaPlatform extends JBossAppServerJtaPlatform
{
    @Override
    protected TransactionManager locateTransactionManager()
    {
        return (TransactionManager)jndiService().locate("java:jboss/TransactionManager");
    }
}

I'm not overriding hibernate.transaction.factory_class in my webapp - at least not that I know of.

Why do I get this stack trace and the warning above? It's basically just a JSF page where I keep calling #{rosterHome.label} to construct a custom HTML label for page display.

I'm using JBoss AS 7 (tried 7.0.0.Final up to 7.1.0.CR1 without noticing any differences), Seam 2.2.2, JSF 1.2 (+ Facelets), RichFaces 3.3.3, and Hibernate 4.

Help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
