Since my JBoss App shares the database with a C++-App I'd like to enable <row-locking> for the Entity Beans.
But this is incompatible with accessing data in a defined order.
The SQL-statement for a finder "SELECT ... ORDER BY a, b FOR UPDATE" is, at least for Informix DB, illegal.
You can only use either "ORDER BY" or "FOR UPDATE".
But I can't do without one of them.
Any similar experience?
Any hints how to solve this dilemma?
