Hi, Yes I know you can get javax UserTransaction interface. But normally jsp client are without Transaction context. So my whole point was publish the functionality in the form of business fn in session beans remote interface with appropriate transaction attributes(So the container automatically initialize the transaction context for such clients) and call SP from those fns.If they have already commit or rollback functionality in SPs then why to remove that. Will it pose problem for me in above scenario?
