JBoss AS 7.2.0.Final deactivate transaction propagation

[ronnybr]

Hello everybody,

I have the following problem:

There is a client, server 1 with EJB1, server2 with EJB2 and a H2 database.

The client performs a lookup for EJB1, EJB1 calls EJB2 and EJB2 persists an entity in the database.

Both servers are have version 7.2.0.Final.

Server1 runs with the standalone.xml and server2 with standalone-full.xml. The only additional configuration is the outbound-connection for server1.

By default the transaction from EJB1 is propagated to EJB2. So if EJB1 fails (for example because of a timeout) the entity is not in the database.

I don't want this behaviour. Is there a way to shut the transaction propagation off?

... RequiresNew on EJB2 would suspend transaction propagation, if this is realy what you want...

Well, it is a possibility for new code.

Unfortunately there is a lot of legacy code that makes use of "Required" attribute.

A simple find/replace could cause some trouble
