@TransactionAttribute ignored on non-public methods. ---------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3775 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3775 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final Environment: SunOS, JDK1.7. Reporter: Sławomir Wojtasiak Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Minor Currently @TransactionAttribute annotations are allowed only on public methods. It seems to be a reasonable rule because components are accesses by their public interfaces and session beans can be also accessed by a no-interface view that exposes all public methods of the bean class. Nevertheless in case of singletons @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations can be applied to protected methods for instance. In such a case transaction attributes are silently ignored.
