I'm trying to get search up and running with glassfish and hibernate-entitymanager.

The problem that I'm running into is that after adding the search annotations some database operations fail, and all I get in the logs is an opaque:

javax.ejb.EJBException: Transaction aborted; nested exception is: javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.
javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.

Removing or just messing around with the search annotations typically fixes this exception but I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to coax the actual problem out of this - a special place to put a breakpoint, or something?

Any help appreciated!

I came up with a solution - I inserted my own implementation of Backend, Worker, and a couple other core classes using properties, and added code that prints a stack trace and eats the RunTimeExceptions.

Turns out I was getting NullPointerException from some Bridge code I had which didn't check for null values. Fixed!
