Question on 18.4.2

Hi,
I have a quesiton on the 3rd paragraph of section 18.4.2, which states "If the client executes in the context of a transaction, the clients transaction may, or may not, have been marked for rollback by the communication subsystem or target beans Container". This is in reference to a RemoteException or EJBException being thrown by a target bean.
My understanding is that if a system exception/error is thrown from a bean instance the transaction will always be marked for rollback? Is this section of the spec stating the opposite?

thanks,
Dean

The client transaction will not be rolled back if let say the ejb method invoked by container has transaction attribute = 'RequireNew' so container will rollback only the EJB transaction in case bean has thrown a Remote/EJB exception. (The original transaction was in suspend mode during the invokation of ejb method.)
On the contrary if the ejb method was set with transaction attribute = 'Requires', 'Supports', 'Mandatory' then container will rollback client transaction in case bean throws a Remote/EJB exception.
Hope this help.
Others, please correct my understanding.... its 11:46 PM here

I have to ask you to change your display name as it doesn't comply with our naming policy (initials are allowed only for first name, not last name).
Thanks.

Dear Lasse,
My last name is 'K R'. I don't want to put full of my last name since that's how I have use it.
In India you will find lot of people with Initials in there last name and so I thought I will be okay with having my name as I always use.

"Padam K R",
I'm afraid you'll have to change your name regardless. It is explicitly mentioned in the naming policy that this firstname/lastname convention may not fit all cultures equally well but it also explains the reasons why we can't make exceptions.
I hope you dont' see this as being rude. We're only trying to withhold a professional image.
Thank you.
