Experts,
The current list of possible method-intf types include the following:
<xsd:complexType name="method-intfType">
...
<xsd:enumeration value="Home"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Remote"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="LocalHome"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Local"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="ServiceEndpoint"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Timer"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="MessageEndpoint"/>
Which clearly misses an option to use it for the transaction settings of
the lifecycle callback methods on a singleton or a stateful session bean
class.
To make it clear that the new type applies to the methods of the bean
class, not the Interceptor class, let's call it "LifecycleCallback", and
indeed add it to the xsd schema.
Please let me know if you think otherwise.
thanks,
-marina
