Re: [seam-dev] Implementing REQUIRES_NEW for seam transaction management

wrote:

I would like to implement REQUIRES_NEW as a transaction type for the @Transactional annotation. My basic plan is: - Create a TransactionManager component that can be installed into components.xml, and give the option to configure the JNDI location of the JTA TransactionManager. - modify the Work.workInTransaction method to check if the existing transaction need to be suspended, as if so use the TransactionManager component to suspend and resume the transaction. I can't help thinking that there is some problem with this approach, otherwise someone else would have already done it.

I also know that TransactionManager is not supposed to be used by the application, does anyone know if this will cause problems?

I would also like to implement the ability to control seam global transactions based on a flag in pages.xml, so they can be disabled for specific views. Would anyone have any objections to this?
