Re: simple Entity create() fails

I added
<assembly-descriptor>
        <container-transaction>
                <method>
                        <ejb-name>Employee</ejb-name>
                        <method-name>*</method-name>
                </method>
                <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
        </container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>

but the same error happens.

I changed my servlet code :
[...]
        javax.transaction.UserTransaction utx = null;
     try {
         utx = (javax.transaction.UserTransaction)
         jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
     } catch (Exception e) {
         out.println("<li>Cannot lookup java:comp/UserTransaction: "
         + e + "</li>");
     }

                try {
                 Object ref3  = 
jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Employee");
	        eh= (EmployeeHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref3,  
EmployeeHome.class);
              } catch(Exception e) {
                 throw new ServletException("Failed to lookup employee", e);
              }

                Employee employee = null;
                try {
         utx.begin();
                        employee = eh.create("jack", "atak", "ja@xxxxx");
         utx.commit();
		} catch (Exception e) { throw new ServletException("create() failed",  
e); }
[...]

this gives a different stack trace (whatever the containter transaction  
attribute above) :
