Fig 5 of
EJB 2.0 Spec Section 7.6 is the state diagram of stateful session bean(SFSB). It shows the "method ready in TX" state would give ERROR if "non-tx" or "different tx method called".
But the point is, under what condition can a "non-tx" method called in this
state?
What I understand is an SFSB must implements SessionSynchronization
interface in order to get into this "method ready in TX" state . And according to Section 17.4.1, its method must with txn attributes either Required, RequiresNew or Mandatory. That is, must be involved in a txn. So, there would be no business method that can execute without a txn context, and there would be no such "non-tx" method available in this state.
Can anyone explain this contradiction?
