Question

I am building an application using JBoss AS 7.1 and I am writing a test

@Test
    public void testGetLoginUser() throws Exception {
        final MarketCrudService crudService = new MarketCrudService(jpaRule.getEntityManager());
        crudService.create(new Login("user1", "password"));
    }

This test depends on @Rule created which instantiates a in-memory derby db for writing test data
When I run this test, I see following error

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/transaction/SystemException

    ... snipped

This happens at line

emFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(persistenceUnitName, persistenceProperties);

I googled and found out the this is because jta.jar is missing, so in my pom.xml I added

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.transaction</groupId>
        <artifactId>jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.1.Final</version>
    </dependency>

Running again did not solved the problem, how can I fix it?
