### Restricting Transactions

The following restrictions on transactions are enforced by the container and must be observed as session beans are developed:

- A session bean can participate in, at most, a single transaction at a time.

- If a session bean is participating in a transaction, a client cannot invoke a method on the bean such that the `trans-attribute` element in the `ejb-jar.xml` file would cause the container to execute the method in a different or unspecified transaction context or an exception is thrown.

- If a session bean instance is participating in a transaction, a client cannot invoke the `remove` method on the session object’s home or component interface object or an exception is thrown.
