According to the "Applying Security to a Forge Scaffold Project" section of the guide in http://forge.jboss.org/addon/org.picketlink.tools.forge:picketlink-forge-addon, I created a project and just wanna to deploy it on JBoss AS 7.1. After a lot of successful DB operation, I got exceptions as follows:

I haven't change any source codes of the forge-generated project but just change "jta-data-source" in the persistence.xml file.

Could anyone help to check the issue, please. Thanks a lot.
