@TransactionAttribute should not be inherited per EJB 3.2 spec --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-8459 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-8459 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Environment: JBoss EA P7.0.x Reporter: Stuart Douglas Assignee: Stuart Douglas It appears that JBoss EAP behaves as the *@TransactionAttribute* attribute was inherited. For example if I have a bean A that {noformat} @Stateless @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW) public class ABean extends Base{ public void foo(){ . . .} } {noformat} and a supper class {noformat} @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.SUPPORTS) public class Base { @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NEVER) public void foo(){ . . } public void bar(){ . . .} } {noformat} and if I call each method {noformat} beanA.bar(); beanA.foo(); {noformat} I would expect to see *bar()* without an active transaction and *foo()* with an active transaction but what I see is that both method have no active transaction. This seems like spec violation since the *@TransactionAttribute* are not supposed to be inherited.
