The spec says on page 81 and 91 that "accessing resource managers and enterprise beans is disallowed in the session bean methods for which the container does not have a meaningful tx context or client security context."
I notice in the spec on page 80 table 2 and in HeadFirst
Java pages 196, 207 and 216 that stateful session beans can access other beans and resource managers in ejbCreate (and also ejbRemove, ejbPassivate and ejbActivate).
Since these methods are not deeemed to take place in a transaction, I am confused. WOuld someone please clarify this issue.
with best regards
Simon
