Stuart Douglas commented on AS7-4552:
-------------------------------------

Does this still happen if you put transactional="true" on your @DatasourceDefinition annotation?

> When using a javax.sql.DataSource via @DataSourceDefinition to create the JTA datasource for a persistence unit, transactional EJB business methods run without transactions. No warning or error is emitted.
> Business method calls annotated @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) receive an EntityManager that *is in autocommit mode*, ie is *not* in a transaction.
> This violates the EJB3 spec and is a nasty problem.
> I discovered this when testing some code that uses deferred constraints to create two interdependent database objects; record A must have at least one record B referencing it, but record B also has a foreign key reference to record A. This can be satisfied only with deferred constraints, and works fine in SQL-level testing. When testing with Arquillian at the JBoss AS 7 / Hibernate / JPA level, though, it was breaking.
> Further investigation showed that the entity manager was in autocommit despite the method being transactional, as demonstrated by a test that tries to create and fetch from a cursor.
> The attached self-contained test case demonstrates this issue. I'll be working on testing the issue against H2 or Derby next, but wanted to get this report in here first.
> Even if this proves to be an issue with PostgreSQL's javax.sql.DataSource implementation, JBoss AS 7 clearly has some validation and checking to do because it *must* not allow an autocommit entity manager to be injected for transactional business methods.
