Hy,
Trying to configure a persistence.xml file I have the next doubts:
1)transaction-type="JTA" means the transaction will be managed by an
ejb container? What I have read about JTA is the api used to manage distributed transactions but if we just have one database, why do we need to declare transaction-type="JTA" and not just "RESOURCE LOCAL"?
2) Is this possible to have transaction-type="RESOURCE LOCAL" and have the transactions managed by a EJB container?
3) If I have transaction-type="JTA", is it mandatory to have an element of type jta-data-source?
4)Why is mandatory to have transaction-type="JTA" with jta-data-source element?, why are they related and I cannot just specify properties indicating the datasource?
Thanks
