EJB3 Transaction Propagation

Question

I have a stateless bean something like:

@Stateless
public class MyStatelessBean implements MyStatelessLocal, MyStatelessRemote {
    @PersistenceContext(unit         


        

Answer 1

I had these circular dependency issues which Kevin mentioned. However, the proposed annotation @IgnoreDependency is a jboss-specific annotation and there is no counterpart in e.g Glassfish.

Since it does not work with default EJB reference, I felt a bit uncomfortable with this solution.

Therefore, I gave bluecarbon's solution a chance, thus starting the inner transaction "by hand".

Beside this, I see no solution but to implement the inner process() in another bean which is also ugly because we simply want to disturb our class model for such technical details.
