I have a design where I am connecting to external EIS using a transactional JCA that I have written and I am using the JCA for multiple commands within a transaction from a transactional stateful session bean.
The scenario involves two session beans, one stateless and one stateful, and the JCA. - The stateless session bean (within in one method) that sets up a transaction and calls txn.begin(). - It then creates and calls the stateful session bean - The stateful session bean creates a connection to the JCA (getConnection() on the factory). - The stateful bean then creates an interaction, sets up the command and then calls execute(). - The stateful bean then returns to the caller (the stateless bean) which will then call another method on the stateful bean, all within the same transaction. Unfortunatly, on return to the stateless bean the runtime closes the JCA connection. This seems wrong to me. The external transaction management is done within the JCA ManagedConnection object but if the connection is closed each time how can I successfully do this management? I'm not guaranteed that I'll even get the same connection back again next time. I really need to keep that connection open for the duration of the transaction. Am I misunderstanding something here or is there some configuration setting I'm missing. brian wallis... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
