@Transactional and @TransactionScoped

[juergen.zimmermann]

I need some assistance in basic understanding of CDI 1.1 and JTA 1.2:

1) If I want the public methods of a JAX-RS resource (and CDI-managed) class to be transactional, then I would just implement the following. Is this correct?

@Transactional

@Path(...)

public class MyResource {

@Inject

public MySharedLogic msl;  // shared logic for RESTful WS and Web/JSF/CDI

}

2) If issue 1) is correct, do I still have to annotate the class MySharedLogic with @TransactionScoped ?

Hi Juergen,

1) I think so

2) Yes, you have to specify the scope for MySharedLogic, otherwise the default scope is used (@Dependent pseudo-scope). Note that JAX-RS resource is always request scoped.
