Hello Gavin, <<(The reason is that fine-grained method-level tx <<demarcation is an antipattern - you want to do all <<your work for a request in the same tx.) I didn't understand what you have said ? Can u pls give a detailed explanation ? Are you referrring to the pattern where from the controller you are forced to do all the work in a single ejb call since you cannot make two EJB calls in the same Action method because of Tx getting splitted ? If that is the case, is there a way this can be done in Seam ? If we are using Session bean methods as action methods, then here also we have to do all the work in that method itself; am i right ?
