[JBoss-user] Very confused about transactions!!

[Brian McSweeney]

Hi guys,   I reckon I'm going to come across as a dope here, but anyway :-)   I read recently that for entity beans that use ejb2 cmp only Required, RequiresNew or Mandatory transaction attributes are allowed. Does this mean that every single method on every single Entity Bean using CMP must be in a transaction? Is this not massively overkill? For example, to read a value in an entity bean it has to be in a transaction?   have I got this correct?   cheers, Brian
