This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
MDBs basically work asynchronously and are not part of transactions as well. But i was wondering is there a way they can behave synchronously and become part of a transaction?
The reason why i am asking is that i have to change the code of some old project, where lots of MDBs are called serially , These MDBs call Session Beans which in turn call CMPs. Now the calls to CMPs are not in single transaction, as they are called via MDB. Is there some way I can make all the calls to CMPs in one single transaction without removing MDBs and changing lots of code ?
Thanks

There is no way to make the MDB synchronous, but there are third party transaction managers that might allow an MDB to join an existing transaction. I would think that the code to do that would be much harder than converting the MDBs to stateless session beans.
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
