Hi there,
When I look at the JBoss documents, there is a definition for non-tx-datasource, it said:" This element is used to specify the (org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager)NoTxConnectionManager service configuration. NoTxConnectionManager is a JCA connection manager with no transaction support. ".
As my understanding to this definition, any changes made by using non-tx-datasource should NOT be committed into the underlying database, but according my investigation, that's NOT it. If non-tx-datasource works with xa-datasource, the both will commit or rollback.
Could you guys pls give some clarification on this?
What I did to verify non-tx-datasource behavior is: I have two session beans, ReadOnlyBean and XABean, which in turn refer to two JPA entity managers, and the entity managers refer to two datasouce, one is non-tx-datasource and xa-datasource.
These two datasources are connecting different databases.
I double checked the JDBC drivers used by these two datasources, one is xa and another is non xa.
Then I have the third session bean FacadeBean. In one method of this facade bean, I call ReadOnlyBean and XABean to update database.
All the methods are given the transaction attribute as @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED).
I call ReadOnlyBean first, then call the XABean.
If I throw EJBException in the XABean, seems both transactions are rolled back.
If there is no EJBException, both changes are committed into underlying database.
any comments are appreciated.
Thanks&Regards,
Thunder
