[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Re: EntityManager not auto-flushing at end of SLSB method

Thanks Mazz. I am aware of the transaction layering effect (for lack of a better term) that applies if one session beans calls another. I am certain all of my session bean methods are exiting. The code is simple and basic. In this particular method I create one entity and modify another. Neither is saved to the DB unless I call em.merge. However, as an experiment, I added this to the method in question: @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW) My understanding of this annotation is that the container should begin a new transaction for this method and it will end when the method exits. Correct? Adding this made no difference. I have never seen any of this work as documentation suggests it should work. I have been using JBoss AS for along time but this is my first EJB3 app. What could I have done wrong to cause this behavior? Again, 4.0.5.GA w/EJB3 (used installer and selected EJB3, Windows XP 64-bit) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4116596#...
