accessing resource managers in ejbCreate()

[Prashant Neginahal]

Hi Guys,
I have one doubt regarding accessing resource managers in transaction. EJB spec(page-81) says...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accessing resource managers and enterprise beans is disallowed in the session bean methods for which the Container does not have a meaningful transaction context or client security context.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But, how can we access resource managers in ejbCreate() and ejbReomve() methods? I know these run in unspecified transaction. So, is this unspecified transaction a 'meaning transaction context'?

Thanks,
Prashant

Not in case of Entity Beans. Check out spec 10.5.2
in page 171 under "public PrimaryKeyClass ejbCreate<METHOD>(...);" and
in page 173 under "public void ejbRemove();".

I know this is NOT a case of Entity beans. I am talking about Session beans.
