Setting transaction attributes

[PNS Subramanian]

Where do we set the transaction attributes for methods used in our application ? Different methods are likely to have different transaction attributes set - isnt this possible when the transaction type setting in ejb-jar.xml file is Bean Managed ?

[Graham Thorpe]

U can set transaction attributes for methods using "WebLogicBuilder"

you can specify different transaction attributes for different methods of same ejb in ejb-jar.xml. given below is one eg.

  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
