title: EJBTransactionRolledbackException occasionally occurs on @Asynchronous Function
body: <p>I am using Java 1.6.0_23 and Glassfish 3.1.1.  I have two Singleton EJBs.  One is using the TimerService to fire the @Timeout function. During the @Timeout, an @Asynchronous function in called in the other Singleton EJB.  It works 95% of the time without any errors.  But the other 5% of the time when the @Asynchronous function is called, I get the following error with no evidence that it even started the @Asynchronous function.  No other error details are logged.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  </p>
  
  <p>PS: I tried increasing the max number of EJBs in Glassfish from 32 to 64.  No change.</p>
