so this means i have to manually "turn off" the passivation of my SFSB via bean managed transactions. but i suppose this means a performance loss :(. is this problem another issue of the bug mentioned above and so the only solution is turning off the passivation mechanism? further, til now whenever i tried to make some kind of manual transaction in my beans i always got the error that the container is taking care of the transactions and bean managed control (transactions) is not allowed. maybe you can tell me what i have to change to be able to add transactions to my bean. thanks, mario
