Hello,
I've just read on enthuware software session bean quiz (oce-ejbd.v6.2.407) that "The transaction context of the caller is never propagated to the target bean's asynchronous method".
So if the asynchronous method has @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) (for CMT bean, of course) and caller has its own transaction context, the container create a new transaction and the TransactionAttribute.REQUIRED behaviour become the same of @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW).
Of course for @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORT) and @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NEVER) no transaction is created for asynchronous method.
But, what happen if asynchronous method is annotated with @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.SUPPORT) and @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.MANDATORY) and caller has its own transaction context?
I've just tryed on weblogic express (using transaction monitoring page) and TransactionAttribute works like normal method.
Is it vendor specific ?
I'm a little bit confused.
Thanks.
