I've put together a simple test program which shows the behavior I described in the initial posting for this thread. I've attached the source code, Junit test. and ANT script as a jar file.
When you run the test with 'no' transaction the test succeed. If you run with transaction required it fails.
I'm just confuse on what the behavior should be, and what did I miss here.
Thanks for any help you may provide

The jboss server output when running with transaction 'required' is. Check the output at timestamp 14:29:15,253
