Hi Adrian, Thanks for you information. It is understood that: Transaction propagation context will not be transfered through messages like Session Bean and Stateless Bean do;
But we have a scneario that to make two asynchorously responded services in one transaction. That's the reason we do the above mentioned test. My impression is that in theory, as long as we have a means to propagte the transaction context and associate transaction context with the service thread, it should be working no matter whether we are using synchronus call or asynchorous call. Does it make sense to you? Following that logic, I was trying to implement the following logic, but it still didn't work: 1) On client side, UserTransaction trans = (UserTransaction) initialContext.lookup("UserTransaction") .narrow(o, UserTransaction.class); trans.begin(); // By converting to JBoss clientUserTransaction, // I could get TPC (TransactionPropagationContext) ClientUserTransaction jbossTransImpl = (ClientUserTransaction)trans; Object tpc = jbossTransImpl.getTransactionPropagationContext(); // Send this tpc via JMS message to a MessageDrivenBean ... trans.rollback(); 2) On MessageDrivenBean side in onMessage method // Unpack message and get tpc object // Use TPC Importer to import tpc into a transaction TransactionPropagationContextImporter tpcImporter = (TransactionPropagationContextImporter) initialContext.lookup("java:/TransactionPropagationContextImporter"); Transaction trans = tpcImporter.importTransactionPropagationContext(tpc); // Use JBoss Transaction Manager to associate the transaction to the current Thread TransactionManager tpcImporter = (TransactionManager) initialContext.lookup("java:/TransactionManager"); TxManager jbossTx = (TxManager)tx; jbossTx.associateThread(trans); // Call another EntityBean, hopefully the TransactionContext propagtion could be handled by JBoss container Do you see it should be working?
