Dominik Pospisil created AS7-5331: ------------------------------------- Summary: @Resource UserTransaction should not be allowed in CMT beans Key: AS7-5331 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5331 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB, Transactions Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP) Reporter: Dominik Pospisil Assignee: jaikiran pai Currently, it seems then @Resource UserTransaction injection is allowed in CMT beans and injects container managed transaction. In AS/EAP5 this would throw an exception which I think is correct as this violates EJB 3.0 & 3.1 specs. Section 16.12 of the EJB 3.1 specification says: The container must make the UserTransaction interface available to the enterprise beans that are allowed to use this interface (only session and message-driven beans with bean-managed transaction demarcation are allowed to use this interface) either through injection using the Resource annotation or in JNDI under the name java:comp/UserTransaction, in addition to through the EJBContext interface. The authenticationType and shareable elements of the Resource annotation must not be specified. In my interpretation the statement "only session and message-driven beans with bean-managed transaction demarcation are allowed to use this interface" would mean that other beans are prohibited to use this interface. Allowing such beans to use this interface is specification violation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
