So you and gavin are basically saying that the outcome of any one of those transactions does not determine the success or failure of any of the other transactions? I just want make sure I get this right. But what do I do if I want to span the transaction over several requests? Now I'm getting confused. Isn't it that only in a non extended persistent context the transaction starts and ends with the mehtod invocation, whereas in an extended context the transaction lasts for the livetime of the SFSB?
