I'm using commit option A because i need cache.
Pretty soon it became obvious that i have to mark many getters as "read-only" since too many transactions were rolled back because of the deadlocks.
My question is: Is it true that commit option A + pessimistic lock + read only methods, is equivalent of READ_COMMITED isolation level?
Example:
1)TX1(Session bean) reads "read-only" property on entity bean A without acquiring the lock
2)TX2 modifies entity bean A (acquires lock and commits).
3)TX1 has stale data (not repeatable read) and uses this data to update entity bean B.
Result of all this is inconsistency between bean A and B
Does the use of "read-only" methods mean compromising on isolation level (consistency).
Thanks in advance.
