ContentServic E Error while calling a function updateItems of PLS data manager.: Error while calling a function updateItems of PLS data manager.
javax.jcr.StaleValueException: Error while calling a function updateItems of PLS data manager.: Error while calling a function updateItems of PLS data manager

If you get this error in your SystemOut.log then it may relate to the use of the WCM API in the context of an EJB with transcation type set to "Container Managed"
When using the WCM API in this manner, the API does not work as expected and you must set the transaction type of the EJB to "Bean managed".
