Transaction demarcation on EJB3/Seam methods

[clemente.cioffi]

Hi,
I'm figuring out how to handle the transactions in Ejb3 using in a Seam application.
In my Ejb3 I injected a Seam-managed Entity Manager .I'm not using the seam-managed transactions.
I'd like to know If I can use the transaction demarcation(EJB3 annotations) on EJB3 methods.
In particular I'd like to know if it's possible to create a new transaction during one already active.
I tried that but It doesn't seem work.

What kind of transaction demarcation/ annotation do you want to use?

Doesn't EJB3 by default already demarcate transaction before and after the method is invoked?

HI,
I'd like using this kind of annotation:

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW).

Consider that I have this situation:

1)I call a first method of ejb3/seam marked with the above annotation.
2)Inside that method I call another method that I want starts in a different transaction and then I mark also this method with the same annotation.

The problem is that there is always a unique transaction and the commit operation is carried out at the end of first method.

Thanks a lot

Bye
