Try using a try-catch-finally template like this whenever calling the EntityManager.

EntityManager em = ... //However you get an em.
try {
    em.getTransaction().begin();

    // ...  Put your persistence code here.

    em.getTransaction().commit();
} catch (Exception ex) {
    em.getTransaction().rollback();
    throw ex;
} finally {
    em.close();
}
