The IllegalStateException suggests that transactional work (such as a database operation) was performed previously on the thread, with the work having not been committed or rolled back yet when the UserTransaction.begin operation attempts to start a new transaction. Please check the application code leading up to this point, and if possible, post it to your question. There is no reason why the behavior should differ between platform if you are running the same code in both cases.
