[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-252) Allow transaction control inside observer methods

Pete Muir created CDI-252: ----------------------------- Summary: Allow transaction control inside observer methods Key: CDI-252 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-252 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Events, Java EE integration Affects Versions: 1.1.EDR Reporter: Pete Muir Fix For: TBD {quote} Would it make sense to maintain the same restrictions as JMS? In JMS you can initiate a new transaction from onMessage, analogous to a method decorated with @Observes. If the method returns without completing the transaction then an error is logged and the transaction rolled back. Flowing a transaction from an event producer to an event consumer isn't a great idea (it doesn't work in JMS either). But allowing a consumer to control their own transaction does seem to make sense to me. Admittedly this is a gut reaction, I read through the Jira and the doc you linked to though, and used my JEE experience to draw analogies, do let me know if I got the wrong end of the stick please! {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
