WLTC0017E:Resources rolled back due to setRollbackOnly() being called error - websphere

Question

I am having issue with a restful web service deployed on WebSphere 7. Each time I try to access a url I'm getting this error message:
"WLTC0017E: Resources rolled back due to setRollbackOnly() being called".
I am suspecting my indirect lookups as the cause of the problem. I have my look up code like this
try {
this.em = (EntityManager) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/persistence/BACPOnlineAPPPU);
this.utx = (UserTransaction) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
} catch (NamingException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
Apart from this, I have created my datasource and tested successfully with WebSphere. What is the evil i am doing wrong?
Here is my stack trace:

You are most likely seeing a transaction timeout. What you should do is to ensure that your application commits changes. Also you could increase the database timeouts of WAS. You can find them under "Transaction service".
