question about EJB Transaction and connection pool?

[Robert Strong]

hi,

I'm using BEA Webloigc8.1 Stateless Session Bean/DAO/Oracle stored proc.
but I'm not quite clear how Transaction Manager work with Resource Manager, like Connection pool.


my understanding is that, in a weblogic transaction, a stateless session bean interact with several DAOs, and for each method of DAO a connection is acquired from connection pool. I've heard that the connection will not return to pool until the transaction commits.

My question is that, does it mean that for a weblogic transaction, multiple connections might be allocated to it? and if multiple connections are allocated, then how many oracle transactions would be started? or multiple connections share the same oracle transaction?

I didn't feel it make sense to start multiple oracle transactions, cause deadlock might be incurred in a single weblogic transaction.

any help appreciated!

The connection object will be shared.
