[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-3873) EJB 2.1 - 17.6.2.8 - setRollbackOnly must throw IllegalStateException when called from EJB with transaction attribute of Supports, NotSupported or Never

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3873?page=comments#action_12351752 ] Darran Lofthouse commented on JBAS-3873: ---------------------------------------- Yes which is why the spec states: - "The Supports transaction attribute must be used with caution. This is because of the different transactional semantics provided by the two possible modes of execution. Only the enterprise beans that will execute correctly in both modes should use the Supports transaction attribute." The spec does not provide any mechanism for the bean to identify if it can call setRollbackOnly so it has completely prohibited it. If a bean requires to do something transactional then it should not be using the transaction attribute of 'Supports', 'Supports' just lets an existing transaction pass through the bean without forcing a transaction to exist to call the bean. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
