javax/persistence/TransactionRequiredException Error?

[cornflakeGirl]

Anyone here have an idea why I get this error?

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

I only see this when using jobParameters in my context file. For example:

	<bean id="reader" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader"
		scope="step">
		<property name="resource" value="#{jobParameters['inputFileName']}" />
		<property name="lineMapper" ref="mapper"></property>
	</bean>

Thanks for your help!

your application is bundling the JavaEE API and it shouldn't as it's provided by the container.
