Persistence unitName was not specified error when deploying to Jboss 7.1.0 EAP

Question

I have an old war file, which I am trying to deploy in JBOss7.1.0 EAP but getting he following error. It was running in older version of JBoss

INFO  [org.jboss.as.jpa] (MSC service thread 1-1) WFLYJPA0002: Read persistence.xml for IcamBusiness

When I opened the old war file , I could see it has used the persistence.xml file and when trying to load the 'IcamBusiness', It is giving the error. I presume, I have to mention @PersistenceContext(unitName = "IcamBusiness") to fix this issue, but I dont have the source code for the war. Is there any way I can run this war file in JBoss7.1.0EAP.

The issue would be either on the addition of the persistence unit on the persistence.xml:

<property name="wildfly.jpa.default-unit" value="true"/>

Or on the definition:

  <persistence-unit name="primary">
      <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/primary_ds</jta-data-source>
      <class>whatever.primary.model.SomeEntity</class>
      <exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
      <properties> ... </properties>
   </persistence-unit>
