Look, Dan, trust me, I would have tried to push to have support for
declarative tx management for managed beans in EE 6, but frankly I
already used up every drop of political capital and then some to just
get managed beans with interceptors and dependency injection in. Now
that we have that much, we have a foundation for generalizing
declarative transactions next time around. But we could easily have
ended up with no managed beans at all. So you should be thankful for
what you *do* have.
Oh, trust me. I am grateful for what was accomplished and recognize that trying to push for more could have jeopardized the whole thing. I don't mean to question the progress.
All I'm saying is that we need to look ahead and see if we can cover this use case in the next round. So when we go into working on this extension for Seam, it should be with the idea in mind that this should be something that the platform can provide (i.e., a transactional managed bean that can receive an injected persistence context outside of a full container).
