Java Beat Question

[Amirr Rafique]

@Stateful
public class TestBean implements Test, TimedObject
{
...
@TransactionAttribute(MANDATORY)
public void ejbTimeout(Timer timer)
{
}
}
Which of the following statements are true?
a. Only stateless session bean can implement the TimedObject interface.
b. It is not legal to define the transaction attribute 'MANDATORY' on the ejb timeout
callback method.
c. None of the above


Can a stateful bean implement TimedObject? please confirm

Thanks

According to a)
Only the SLSBs, MDBs an 2.1 Entity beans can use TimerService.

Accroding to b)
Callback timeout methods can have only the following transaction attributes: REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, NOT_SUPPORTED. Therefore is not legal to define the MANDATORY propagation level for this method.

That means answer to this question will be c

Nope. In b) It says that is "not legal to define the transaction attribute 'MANDATORY' on the ejb timeout
callback method. " which is true. In my opinion the correct answer is b).
