Hi Reza:
So I have some EJBs which are annotated with @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttribute.NOT_SUPPORTED) , they make read-only calls to the DB, and they run without throwing any exceptions whether or not this box is checked off so my question is basically two fold:
1. Whats the purpose of this setting? (The User’s Guide doesn’t give anymore detail then the GUI does)
2. What are the expectations in this case? (So I can determine if this is expected or a bug)
Thanks,
-Noah
