[jboss-user] [JCA/JBoss] - Stateless EJB calling WorkManager directly - legal?

If a stateless EJB gets a JBossWorkManager (see code below) without going through an RA, should everything still work? The problem I'm seeing is: 1) A CMT transaction TX1 is created in the EJB via hibernate call. 2) the ejb schedules work in the WorkManager [workManager.scheduleWork(myWork, WorkManager.INDEFINITE, new ExecutionContext(), myListener); ] 3) A new transaction is created TX2 by the WorkManager 4) TX2 cannot 'see' any of the changes from TX1 either from inserts, updates and even after calling flush on the Hibernate session How can I coordinate these transactions? Do I need an RA? ------------------------------------------ Config: 4.2.2.GA on MySQL 5.x XA-DataSource using MySQL xa driver EJB getting a JBossWorkManager: MBeanServerConnection mconn = (MBeanServerConnection) ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor"); | ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName("jboss.jca:service=WorkManager"); | JBossWorkManagerMBean jwm = (JBossWorkManagerMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(blah, objectName, JBossWorkManagerMBean.class,false); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4134971#...
