Hi Curt,
My understanding coincides with yours on ND, ND does not support Entity
Beans, and will not. It has been suggested to us by NAS engineers that we
should stick to using just session beans with NAS too as this is a more
mature technology.
I think you are missing something with the management of transactions. The
ability of an EJB server to manage transactions is independent of whether
entity or session beans are used. I understand writing code for a
traditional TP is more like writing a stateless session bean, than like an
entity bean.
Typically when a request arrives from a client outside the EJB server the
server initiates a transaction. All database calls by session beans are
then managed by the EJB container. Just before a return of control to the
client all the statements are committed by the container. For most EJB
servers the statements by the EJBs are JDBC, for ND they are spider calls.

Am I missing something here?
Comparing 'EJB' to 'TP', don't we mean _entity_ EJB when
discussing
transactional capabilities? ND5.x doesn't support entity
EJB, right? And,
never will?
