How to support transactions with JUnit and Demoiselle 2.4.2

I have an application whose unit tests are in full operation, except for write operations in the database. No data is recorded. When forcing a flush, I got the message stating that no transaction was in progress, even though the BusinessController method was annotated with @Transactional . Everything works correctly in the normal execution of the application inside JBoss, only in test cases the problem manifests itself. My persistence.xml is below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
    <persistence-unit name="restaurante-ds" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

        <class>...</class>

        <exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@servidororacle" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="username" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="password" />
            <property name="hibernate.default_schema" value="schema" />
            <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
            <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

What's missing?

Update 1

As per guideline, the /src/test/resources/META-INF/beans.xml file has been changed to contain the Demoiselle interceptor class, as below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
    <interceptors>
        <class>br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.transaction.TransactionalInterceptor</class>
    </interceptors>
 </beans>

The behavior actually changed since before the call of the insert() method of my BusinessController ( restauranteUnidadeBC ) did not perform any operation in the BD, but now I get an exception with the following message:

Você está tentando obter um objeto não reconhecido pelo CDI via Beans.getReference(javax.transaction.UserTransaction)

Apparently there is still something missing. The test code follows below:

@Test
public void shouldAbrirCaixaComUsuarioLogado() {
    // Arrange
    Pessoa operador = pessoaBC.byChave("11111111111"); 
    RestauranteUnidade unidade = new RestauranteUnidade("Teste");
    unidade.getOperadores().add(operador);
    unidade = restauranteUnidadeBC.insert(unidade); // <<<< EXCEÇÃO AQUI!!!
    BigDecimal valorAbertura = new BigDecimal(10.50);

    // Act
    ...
}

The first invocation, which gets the operator works as expected.

Update 2

In order to give more subsidies, I provide the exceptions trace corresponding to the error:

br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.DemoiselleException: Você está tentando obter um objeto não reconhecido pelo CDI via Beans.getReference(javax.transaction.UserTransaction)
    at br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.util.Beans.getReference(Beans.java:132)
    at br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.transaction.JTATransaction.getDelegate(JTATransaction.java:65)
    at br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.transaction.JTATransaction.isActive(JTATransaction.java:77)
    at br.gov.frameworkdemoiselle.transaction.TransactionalInterceptor.initiate(TransactionalInterceptor.java:135)
    at ... diversas outras chamadas

By this trace we can see that the problem manifests itself in a method of class JTATransaction .

It was commented on the unavailability of some necessary dependence. Here is a simplified version of pom.xml for evaluation:

The suspicion about a missing dependency seems justified, because as a test I added to the test project a class implementing the interface UserTransaction and the CDI error stopped occurring. Since the class was dummy , I did not get any more error, but I came back to the situation where DB change operations have no effect.

Other evidence is the Eclipse console log:

08:12:50,144  INFO Version:207 - WELD-000900 1.1.8 (Final)
08:12:50,418  INFO Bootstrap:245 - WELD-000101 Transactional services not available. Injection of @Inject UserTransaction not available. Transactional observers will be invoked synchronously.

08:12:52,510  INFO CoreBootstrap:209 - O Demoiselle 2.4.2 decolou

I reiterate that the application works to the satisfaction, the problem only manifests itself in the context of JUnit.
