I read that NEVER can be useful when you do not want developers to write Database critical code in a method, so that if they do that an exception would result. So while trying to practice that at home, i tried to decorate my interface method declaration with attribute @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NEVER) but no exceptions were thrown when i call the Session Bean without already having a transaction. Surprisingly, when i decorated the Session Bean's method (as opposed to the method declaration in interface) itself with @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NEVER), the same call results in an Exception. I am using jboss 5. What went wrong here? Can i not use @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NEVER) in the Remote Interface itself?
A transaction attribute may be specified on a method of the bean class to override the transaction attribute value explicitly or implicitly specified on the bean class.
So the transaction attribute is expected to be specified on the bean implementation class and not the interface(s).
