Dear Experts,
Forwarding a discussion on the JSR 342 (EE 7 Platform) expert group. It
is suggested that:
please make sure the JSR 236 spec is clear that tasks/threads
have the same ability to use transactions that the component submitting
them does. For example, they can call transactional enterprise beans,
they can call managed beans that use the @Transactional interceptor,
they can start their own transactions using UserTransaction, etc.
Currently, the spec only specified that
javax.transaction.UserTransaction should be available for the tasks
should they wish to use transaction. Does anyone see any problem with
adding to the spec what was suggested in the JSR 342 discussion?
Regards
Anthony

Anthony, please make sure the JSR 236 spec is clear that tasks/threads
have the same ability to use transactions that the component submitting
them does. For example, they can call transactional enterprise beans,
they can call managed beans that use the @Transactional interceptor,
they can start their own transactions using UserTransaction, etc.
Thanks.
