[JBoss-user] JBoss Entity Bean Transactions

[Luke Studley]

Hi all   In the ejb 1.1 Spec (pdf) 9.5.4 and 9.5.5 (ending and starting new transactions for entity beans) it mentions 3 options for a container to end a transaction: A. mark "not registered" B. mark "invalid state" C. ejbPassivate()   Which relates to the following actions for starting the next transaction: A. Do nothing B. ejbLoad() C. ejbLoad()   Would it be true to say that JBoss implements option A? I am certainly seeing this type of behaviour with my session wrapped entity beans, i.e. no ejbLoad() called for new Transactions after the initial find/ejbActivate combo.   If this is the case then you cannot pick up new transaction data changed in the dB from outside of JBoss without restarting or re-deploying your beans. Which is quite annoying for the application I have.   Is any / all / none of this true? Is it possible to configure JBoss to use one of the other options mentioned in the spec? I.e. I basically need ejbLoad to be called on the entity beans afresh in each transaction.   As always any answers appreciated.   Thanks   Luke
