Experts,

Please let me and Jeremy know if you agree that such shortcuts in the
ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor are useful to be added.

thanks,

jrbauer commented on EJB_SPEC-49:
---------------------------------

To further clarify -

In particular, the new method-intf type would be useful with wild-carding since it let's you scope to a specific interface type. For example, to set NotSupported for the lifecycle methods without affecting other interfaces:

<container-transaction>
    <method>
        <ejb-name>MySession</ejb-name>
        <method-intf>LifecycleInterceptor</method-intf>
        <method-name>*</method-name>
    </method>
    <trans-attribute>NotSupported</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>

> Given that lifecycle callbacks of singleton and stateful bean interceptors can now run within container managed transactions, I think we need to add a new method-intf type to the possible values of the container-transaction->method definition in the DD. The current values do not provide the ability to specifically target transaction attributes to this style of interceptor via the DD. The name "LifecycleInterceptor" seems a good fit. Thoughts?
> I've seen at least one location in Javadoc that provides the list of possible meta-inf values, so at least one, maybe more, updates would be needed there as well.
