Scenario: Methods Transaction Attribute Method-1 ----> NotSupported Method-2 ----> RequiresNew Method-3 ----> RequiresNew Method-4 ----> RequiresNew In Method-1, method-2, method-3 and method-4 are called in sequence. When ever an application exception is thrown from method-3, i am getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: setRollbackOnly() not allowed without a transaction. exception in jboss4.0.5-GA version. But this is working correctly in jboss-3.2.6 . We are not getting java.lang.IllegalStateException and are able to catch the application exception.
