[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Re: EJB2.1:UserTransaction with CMT- possible bug?

[waynebaylor]

I just checked out the EJB3 Spec and found the following:

Section 13.6.5 Handling of Methods that Run with "an unspecified transaction context" 
anonymous wrote : 
  | The term ?an unspecified transaction context? is used in the EJB specification to refer to the cases in
  | which the EJB architecture does not fully define the transaction semantics of an enterprise bean method
  | execution.
  | 
  | This includes the following cases:
  | 
  |     ? The execution of a method of an enterprise bean with container-managed transaction demarcation
  |     for which the value of the transaction attribute is NOT_SUPPORTED, NEVER, or SUPPORTS.
  | 
  |     ? The execution of a PostConstruct, PreDestroy, PostActivate, or PrePassivate
  |     callback method of a session bean with container-managed transaction demarcation.[71]
  | 
  |     ? The execution of a PostConstruct or PreDestroy callback method of a message-driven
  |     bean with container-managed transaction demarcation.[72]
  | 
  | The EJB specification does not prescribe how the container should manage the execution of a method
  | with an unspecified transaction context?the transaction semantics are left to the container implementation.
  | 

My guess is that JBoss lets you use UserTransaction since there's no tx context defined.
