Hi all I am experiencing a problem with handling transactions in EJB My application has the following 1. A servlet invokes a business method in stateful session bean "SFBean" 2. "SFBean" uses a helper class "Helper" to process some business logic. 3. In "Helper" I make use of two entity beans (BMP) Here my problem is that I want the use of two entity beans as a single transaction. If I start a UserTransaction in "Helper" I am getting not supported Exception as nested transactions are not allowed Can any body suggest me How Do I go abt solving this Thanks in anticipation Mrutyunjay
