Is it possible to specify the transaction attributes for BMT.

Page no 321 in ejb-core-specs there is picture demonstrating the BMT.In that picture what does the mean by the client.is it a servlet or a bean.

The application programmer demarcates the transaction with begin and commit calls. If the enterprise beans X and Y are configured to use a client transaction (i.e., their methods have transaction attributes that either require or support an existing transaction context), the EJB server ensures that the updates to databases A and B are made as part of the client�s transaction.



How the beans with the BMT types be configured with the transaction attributes.

Yes. The text says if they are configured to use a client transaction. Maybe you confused the client's transaction, and beans X and Y transactions. X and Y transactions can be anything.

so what they mean here is

" Transaction is started by invoking the begin() of BMT and then they call the methods of bean X and Y which are configured to have CMT, all will be considered as a single transaction."

is this correct. if not correct me

"Transaction is started by invoking the begin() of BMT and then they call the methods of bean X and Y which if configured to have CMT (Support or Requires attribute) will use the caller's transaction."

Hmmm.... A little doubt here...

If a BMT bean calls a bean that is CMT (or the other way round) (Supports/Required/RequiresNew/Mandatory) how does transaction management between BMT and CMT internally work? .

i.e what if exception was to be thrown from one transaction type Bean. What the exception be propagated wrt rules of Caller alone ?.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
