Failed to start new transactions when updating the data by using JBoss as the application server and an error (error 10999) box pops up saying "Failed to start new transaction due to com.appeon.server.controller.ControllerException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TransactionServiceLocal not bound" as shown in the figure below.
Cause: This is a known issue for using JBoss 5. You may encounter the following errors when JBoss is deploying the internal EJB component and saving the configuration files into the internal database localDB.script, which will result in EJB deployment failure, during launching the JBoss. In this situation, you will encounter the above "Error 10999..." error during updating the data in the Appeon application.

…Solution: The steps for resolving this issue are pasted below for your convenience. You may also refer to this web page for the complete discussion https://community.jboss.org/message/585994.
Step 1: Open the JBOSS_HOME/server/<servername>/conf/standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml in a text editor
Step 2: Search for the "Hypersonic SQL" type-mappping in that file. It will look something like this:
<type-mapping>
<name>Hypersonic SQL</name>
<row-locking-template/>
...
<mapping>
<java-type>java.lang.Object</java-type>
<!-- hsqldb only supports directly serializable objects for sql type OBJECT -->
<jdbc-type>VARBINARY</jdbc-type>
<sql-type>VARBINARY</sql-type>
</mapping>
...
</type-mapping>
Step 3: Change the sql-type value to 1024.
<type-mapping>
<name>Hypersonic SQL</name>
<row-locking-template/>
...
<mapping>
<java-type>java.lang.Object</java-type>
<!-- hsqldb only supports directly serializable objects for sql type OBJECT -->
<jdbc-type>VARBINARY</jdbc-type>
<sql-type>VARBINARY(1024)</sql-type>
</mapping>
...
</type-mapping>
Step 4: After this change, restart the server and see if it works.
If the above solution cannot solve this issue, please go to Developer > Configure > [your application] > DB Settings tab and uncheck "Start transaction when executing stored procedure" option, then deploy your application and try again.
