Geronimo-3.0.1 Aries Blueprint java.lang.VerifyError

Question

Am trying out OSGI with Aries/Blueprint using Gernomino 3.0.1. Have hit a wall because of the following exception:

2013-08-06 10:54:54,832 ERROR [BlueprintContainerImpl] Unable to start blueprint container for bundle com.xxx.xxx

My JDK version is 1.7.0_25-b15 on Ubuntu 13.04.

Here's how my Blueprint configuration looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<blueprint
    xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"
    xmlns:jpa="http://aries.apache.org/xmlns/jpa/v1.0.0"
    xmlns:tx="http://aries.apache.org/xmlns/transactions/v1.0.0">

<!-- DataSource Derby -->
<bean id="dataSourceDerby" class="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource">
    <property name="databaseName" value="/home/imme/Data/xxxxdb"/>
    <property name="createDatabase" value="create"/>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSourceXADerby" class="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedXADataSource">
    <property name="databaseName" value="/home/imme/Data/xxxxdb"/>
    <property name="createDatabase" value="create"/>
</bean>

<!-- Expose DataSource as JNDI reference -->
<service ref="dataSourceDerby" interface="javax.sql.DataSource">
    <service-properties>
        <entry key="osgi.jndi.service.name" value="jdbc/xxxxdb"/>
    </service-properties>
</service>
<service ref="dataSourceXADerby" interface="javax.sql.XADataSource">
    <service-properties>
        <entry key="osgi.jndi.service.name" value="jdbc/xaxxxxdb"/>
    </service-properties>
</service>

<bean id="userServiceImpl" class="com.xxx.xxx.services.impl.UserServiceImpl">
    <tx:transaction method="*" value="Required" />
    <jpa:context property="entityManager" unitname="xxx-unit"/>
</bean>
<service id="userService" ref="userServiceImpl" interface="com.xxx.xxxx.services.UserService"/>
</blueprint>

If I comment out the line: <tx:transaction method="*" value="Required" /> I do not see the exception anymore, however the services don't work because the container is not able to open a transaction. Have tried with JDK 1.6, same problem.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

This error has been fixed in latest version of areis.jpa.container but geronimo is still holding on to the old bundle.
