I don't know what behavior to expect out of JDBC drivers outside of a transaction.
Regarding avoiding transactions: in most situations, you should not see any significant performance penalties for using transactions with OpenJPA. The authors of Pro EJB3 are all Oracle employees, so maybe there is something in their implementation that adds non-trivial overhead to transactions. -Patrick -- Patrick Linskey BEA Systems, Inc. _______________________________________________________________________ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.
