Transaction policies not applied for lifecycle callback interceptor methods for 
@Singleton
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENEJB-1086
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1086
             Project: OpenEJB
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1.2
            Reporter: Jean-Louis MONTEIRO


OpenEJB does not seem to apply transaction policies with @Singleton beans.
My feeling (after checking in the spec) is that we must deal with transaction 
policies for PostConstruct/PreDestroy lifecycle callback interceptor methods. 
Actually, it's not the case for @Singleton nor @Stateless whereas we do it for 
@Stateful.

4.3.14 Transaction Context of Session Bean Methods
{quote}
The implementation of a method defined in a session bean's business interface 
or component interface or no-interface view, a web service method, timeout 
callback  method, or singleton  PostConstruct/PreDestroy lifecycle callback 
interceptor method, is invoked in the scope of a transaction determined by the 
transaction attribute specified in the bean's metadata annotations or 
deployment descriptor.
...
For example, it would be wrong to perform database operations within a stateful 
session bean's PostConstruct or PreDestroy lifecycle callback interceptor 
methods and to assume that the operations are part of the client's transaction. 
The  PostConstruct and  PreDestroy methods for stateful and stateless session 
beans are not controlled by a transaction attribute because handling rollbacks 
in these methods would greatly complicate the session instance's state diagram.

4.3.4 Session Bean Lifecycle Callback Interceptor Methods
{quote}
The PostConstruct lifecycle callback interceptor methods for stateless and 
stateful session execute in an unspecified transaction context.
{quote}

13.6 is also a good pointer.

So, from my understanding, we should manage transaction policies in lifecycle 
methods for @Singleton but not necessary for @MDB @Stateless and Stateful (an 
unspecified transaction context).
IMHO, we should add some consistency because the behavior for @Stateless and 
@Stateful is different (BTW, i didn't check for MDB).
