Does transactional context apply in this secenario?

[cvandyck]

I've got a Stateful Session Bean that collects a good number of entities and manipulates them.

It abstracts out some of the logic by feeding these entity references to other helper classes that inherit from java.lang.Object.

My question is -- are manipulations done on those entities by the helper classes done within the context of the transaction from the Stateful Session Bean?

Yes. Unless you have marked the entity bean method with transaction attributes that either create a new transaction or suspend the transaction.
