I am having problems with JBoss discovering individual trans-attribute values when using the assembly descriptor shown below. The behavior we experience is that the course grained method descriptor is honored (Required using * ), and the fine grained element (RequiresNew with method name) ignored.
Q: should the individual method elements for each bean be defined in seperate container-transaction elements?
Q: Is the order the elements are listed significant?
Q: Is there a JMX interface showing the attributes the beans receive at deployment?
Thanks for any help with this issue.
