title: Seam @Transactional annotation not working?
body: <p>I'm using the @Transactional annotation on a seam component similar to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Name( "myComponent" )
  @AutoCreate
  public class MyComponent
  {
      public void something() {
          ...
          doWork();
      }
      ...
      @Transactional
      protected void doWork() {
          try {
              log.debug( "transaction active: " + Transaction.instance().isActive() );
          } catch (Exception ignore) {}
  
          // some more stuff here that doesn't appear to be inside a transaction
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the "some more stuff" section, I'm modifying some Hibernate entities and then had a bug where an Exception was thrown. I noticed that the Exception wasn't causing the transaction to be rolled back (the modified entities were still modified in the db) so I added the "transaction active" logging. When this code executes, isActive() returns false.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something I'm missing? Why isn't the transaction active?</p>
  
  <p>In case it matters, I'm using the Seam component from inside another component that is using RESTEasy annotations to trigger my method calls.</p>
