Since my JBoss App shares the database with a C++-App I'd like to enable <row-locking> for the Entity Beans. But this is incompatible with accessing data in a defined order. The SQL-statement for a finder "SELECT ... ORDER BY a, b FOR UPDATE" is, at least for Informix DB, illegal. You can only use either "ORDER BY" or "FOR UPDATE". But I can't do without one of them. Any similar experience? Any hints how to solve this dilemma? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4057510#...
