Dear sir would you please clearify me the diffrence between Required and NotSupported transaction attribute.

it is not correct that both of them create transactions.

Required means that the bean's method must be invoked within a transaction context. if the client that invoke the method which is marked with this attribute be in a transaction scope then this method will go under that transaction scope , if the client that call the method marked with this attribute does not involed in any transaction then a transaction for the method execution will create and the created transaction will end by method return.

NotSupported , it means that the method marked with this attribute does not support transaction , so if the client whom call this method be within a transaction scope then transaction will pause until the method execution ends, then transaction will resume.
