Hi Milind: <transaction-type> is a mandatory element as per the ejb-jar.xmls' DTD, hence YOU WILL NEED TO DECLARE IT. It cannot take default values.
Of course, this may depend on the app server you are using, which may be specifying some default for you just in case you have not specified yourself, but I have not experienced such a thing as yet. BTW, the two values that it can take are "Container" and "Bean" Regards Sanjeev -----Original Message----- Dear All, I have specified the transaction-type in ejb-jar.xml file as follows: <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> What is the default value of transaction attribute (trans-attribute) when I do not specify any value in the <container-transaction> block. Thanks in advance !!
