No kidding! I didn't recall this from the spec...
It actually seems kind of silly to me. As long as one uses TX NOT SUPPORTED
for the associated bean, I don't see the problem.
I also don't see how the "stand alone" object helps here. All we are
accomplishing by that is adding a level of indirection. So the bean itself
isn't doing the IO, but it delegates to an object that does. What does this
accomplish? We are still not using a transaction capable resource.
