I don't see anything in the ejb 2.1 spec that indicates how to interpret 
transaction attributes such as these:

<container-transaction>
  <method>
    <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>
    <method-intf>Local<method-intf>
    <method-name>*</method-name>
  </method>
  <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
<container-transaction>
  <method>
    <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>
    <method-intf>Remote<method-intf>
    <method-name>*</method-name>
  </method>
  <trans-attribute>Supported</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
<container-transaction>
  <method>
    <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>
   <!-- doSomething is in both local and remote interfaces -->
    <method-name>doSomething</method-name>
  </method>
  <trans-attribute>RequiresNew</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
I assume that the third overrides the other two, but I don't see that 
specified anywhere.  Any help?

thanks

[EJB2.1 pp 378] "If there is also a container-transaction element that 
uses Style 1 element for the same bean, the value specified by the Style 
2 element takes precedence." And similarly for Style 3.

So your 3rd case, which is Style 2, overrides the first two which are 
both Style 1.

Or so I read it :-)
