[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - EJB2.1:UserTransaction with CMT- possible bug?

I have a CMT bean with a method set to Never as tx attribute. - If I get the UserTransction from SessionContext(), I do get an IllegalStateException (java.lang.IllegalStateException: CMT beans are not allowed to get a UserTransaction) which is expected - However, I am able to get the same UT from JNDI! I am successful in getting TransactionManager and UserTransaction from JNDI in my ejbCreate() method. Now, the following method executes without any exceptions/restrictions/constraints: | private void doNonTxWork() | { | logger.info("<< Method: doNonTxWork >>"); | try | { | Transaction t = tm.suspend(); | ut.begin(); | logger.info("UserTransaction BEGIN: "); | ut.commit(); | logger.info("UserTransaction COMMITTED: "); | tm.resume(t); | logger.info("Transaction Resumed: "); | } | catch (Exception e) | { | logger.info("Exception:" + e.getMessage()); | logger.error(e); | throw new EJBException(e); | } | } | Note that the method that's calling this one is set to Never. Now, in order to check whether I can do the same work in a Required method(which ideally should'nt work), I called this method from Required method. I didn't get any exceptions/errors and everything seems quite happy!! Is it not strange behaviour(possible bug??) or am I missing something here?
