Weblogic descriptor issue for 8.1 sp5

[Ashish Shinde]

We had our application on wls6.1 and now porting to wls8.1. The decriptor changes have been made. We have a SB with bean managed transactions. SB has transaction.begin and transaction.commit. This SB internally calls a EB for persisting data.
Everything was working fine in 6.1, however when we moved to 8.1 we get warning message as:
<The EJB 'BookingDetailsEB(Application: bis, EJBComponent: bis_ejb.jar)' contains at least one method without an explicit transaction attribute setting. The default transaction attribute of Supports will be used for the following methods: home[create com.dhl.apis.bis.messages.BookingInformationData,com.dhl.apis.bis.messages.ReferenceNumberRequestData,com.dhl.apis.cic.PerformanceLogDetails), findForOtherEvents java.util.Date,java.lang.Integer,com.dhl.apis.cic.PerformanceLogDetails), remove(java.lang.Object), findByExternalReferenceNumber java.util.Date,java.lang.Integer,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,com.dhl.apis.cic.PerformanceLogDetails), findByPrimaryKey com.dhl.apis.bis.dataEntity.BookingDetailsPK), remove(javax.ejb.Handle), findMatchingBooking(java.util.Date,java.lang.Integer,com.dhl.apis.cic.Per
formanceLogDetails)] >

Any idea what additional tags i need to insert or any changes required elsewhere??

Please help

Hi,

in ejb-jar.xml You have to provide such section:

    <container-transaction>
      <method>
         <ejb-name>BookingDetailsEB</ejb-name>
          <method-name>*</method-name>
       </method>
       <trans-attribute>Supports</trans-attribute>
    </container-transaction>

"Supports" is default value. Check out in documentation if this value is correct for Your Bean and Transaction or You have to change it.

Best Regards,

I am struggling to think of a good reason for using the Supports attribute as it can lead to unpredicable results. And you certainly won't want to use this attribute for your remove() method.

If you want a method to be isolated from transactions, then use NotSupported instead.
