1. Re: Working around transaction timeouts
wdfink Sep 8, 2010 12:26 PM (in response to dfisher)I aggree to your expectation.
Do you have switched on TRACE for the transaction manager? (don't know the exact package ATM)
Or you might use REQUIRES_NEW for both (which should be indeed the same result in your case)

2. Re: Working around transaction timeouts
dfisher Sep 15, 2010 11:59 AM (in response to dfisher)After some research I'm not certain I can get the behavior I need.
I was able to isolate transactions for a specific use case where I know the invoking client does not have a transaction:
invoke Task [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(NOT_SUPPORTED)]
invoke Search [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(REQUIRED)], look up entities to operate on
for each entity
invoke Operation [SSB with @TransactionAttribute(REQUIRED)], perform operation
This does execute the Search and Operation methods in separate transactions and allow run times greater than the default timeout for the Task method.
However, if the client invoking Task is not an MBean, but rather another business component, it's transaction will be suspended while the Task runs and will timeout after 5 minutes.
So am I understanding this correctly?
You can gain some control over transaction timeouts, but only if you know your clients are not using a transaction.

3. Re: Working around transaction timeouts
wdfink Sep 16, 2010 3:46 AM (in response to dfisher)Yes, you are right.
In your case the clients transaction will be suspended and if the new transaction will take more time than the clients-Tx-timeout the result is
that your (inner) Tx will be successful commited and the outer Tx will be rolled back.
