You're right.  You still shouldn't mess with the transaction manager.  I'm
not familiar enough with the transaction management code to say what the
difference between TransactionManager.begin and UserTransaction.begin is.

What you might want to do is to print out what the current transaction is
at various points, like after trans.begin() and inside your EJB methods.
TransactionManager.getTransaction().toString() should be sufficient.

That should be fine.  As long as they're not RequiresNew.

I'm suspecting that this is some sort of problem with propagating the
transaction from Tomcat to JBoss.  If so, hopefully someone who
understands how that's supposed to work will step in.
