Answer 1

This happens due to the missign JTA library add the below dependeny to your pom.xml. and this may solve your issue:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
  <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
  <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

Change the below dependency

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
     <version>1.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

with

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

and modify your configurations to use hibernate JPA 2.1.

Answer 2

I think that you miss jta dependency, try to add:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
    <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

to your Maven dependencies.
