[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (EJBTHREE-2236) NullPointerException in CMTTxInterceptor.mandatory() method when invoked on a lifecycle callback method

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EJBTHREE-2236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Carlo de Wolf commented on EJBTHREE-2236: ----------------------------------------- There is more subtlety to this bug: EJB 3.1 FR 13.3.7 Specification of the Transaction Attributes for a Bean’s Methods ... - a singleton session bean’s PostConstruct/PreDestroy lifecycle callback interceptor methods ... For a singleton session bean’s PostConstruct/PreDestroy lifecycle callback interceptor meth- ods, only the REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, and NOT_SUPPORTED transaction attributes may be used. So a lifecycle callback running through 'mandatory' is something that should never happen. See also EJB 3.1 FR 4.8.3. Specifying 'MANDATORY' on a lifecycle callback for a singleton is actually illegal. The real bug is that tx attributes are not properly resolved, similar to EJBTHREE-2120. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
