starting a transaction after getting a connection

[bruces]

Should a session bean be able to get a connection from a jca connector and then perform one or more bean-managed transactions with the connection?

One of my testers created a bean that gets a connection, then gets UserTransaction and starts a transaction, and then checks to see if the connection was enlisted in the transaction. It wasn't.

Is this a legal thing for a bean to do?

Its definitely (allegedly) supported (in 3.0, not 2.4). I thought there was a testcase for this, I'll check again. Could you file a bug to remind me? Thanks.
