I am using JBoss 4.2.3.

Our application queries multiple ODS datasources. As they are read-only 
operations, all the ODS datasources are configured as no-tx-datasource as we 
don't need the read operations to be part of any transaction. I understand that 
though the read operations are not part of a transaction, the SELECT query 
would still acquire a shared lock on the data records read until the result is 
returned. So we need a configuration so that the read operations (SELECT 
queries) on the datasources does not acquire shared lock on the data records 
read. 

We don't want to add "WITH (NOLOCK)" in all our queries. Instead we would like 
to configure the transaction isolation level to TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED 
for the datasources. But the JBoss documentation mentions that the property 
<transaction-isolation/> is not applicable for no-tx-datasource.

Is there a way to configure a no-tx-datasource, not to acquire a shared lock on 
execution of a SELECT query? I could be conceptually wrong about my 
understanding of no-tx-datasource.

One workaround we thought is to configure them as local-tx-datasource and 
mention the transaction-isolation property. But most part of our business logic 
run as part of container-managed transaction, and so we don't want the read 
operations to be part of the transaction unnecessarily.

I would highly appreciate any help.

Thanks
Vignesh
