I am trying to understand Valentin Crettaz�s Bean LC Cheat Sheet.

I wonder why does UserTransaction appear in 2 categories :

Tx: access to getUserTransaction()
and
Res: access to UserTransaction ...

Thanks.

Because when programming beans with bean-managed transaction demarcation you have two ways of getting hold of a UserTransaction object:
1. By calling getUserTransaction() on the context object.
2. By looking up in JNDI the UserTransaction object mapped to the java:comp/UserTransaction

Oh I see.

I was not aware of the 2nd way of getting the UserTransaction object.

This makes me wonder why must there be 2 ways... kind of redundant.

Is this address (java:comp/UserTransaction) in the JNDI fixed ?

Thanks Crettaz.

Well, yeah, but you know...

Yes, it is a requirement of the EJB 2.0 specification.

Just to clarify, wouldn't the JNDI context be available under java:comp/env/UserTransaction instead of java:comp/UserTransaction?

I think java:comp/UserTransaction is correct.

Thanks,<br />Thiru<br />[SCJP,SCWCD,SCBCD]
