We are using Tridion 2013 SP1 HR1 with Websphere 8.5. Recently we started getting this kind of exception when querying the broker:

I think the relevant part of this message is the following:
org.springframework.orm.jpa.AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean$ManagedEntityManagerFactoryInvocationHandler.invoke(AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean.java:517) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy56.createEntityManager(Unknown Source) at com.tridion.storage.persistence.JPABaseDAO.getEntityManager(JPABaseDAO.java:53) at
It seems that the Tridion JPABaseDAO relies on Spring to get an "entity manager", but that something goes wrong in the EntityManagerFactory. Presumably there is a configuration setting somewhere that controls this behaviour.
Restarting the web application makes the problem disappear for a while, but not permanently.
What can cause this problem? What is the best strategy for solving it?
