Hi Vishakha Since the business method must be executed within a transaction, I select c and d require: if client transaction exists, the container will propagate the client transaction. Otherwise, container will create a new transaction. requireNew: if client transaction exists, the container will suspend the current transaction and create a new one. Otherwise the container will create a new transaction. Joey

a) NotSupported - would not start a transaction, if one exists it suspended for this method. b) Supports - would not start a transaction, it executes in the trasactions scope if one is provided (in this case, there is none). e) Mandatory - a transaction context must exist before the method is called, otherwise an exception (something like transactionrequired) is thrown.
