Transaction question on EJB

[alpha.d]

I know, if a system exception(i.e. EJBException) is thrown in an EJB method, the container will automatically roll back the transaction.

My question is:
I have a user-defined exception which derives from EJBException. Will the container roll back my transaction automatically when the exception is thrown?

Thanks in advance.

It does at least seem to try, but I found that with stateful session beans, it seems to "throw them out" of the container. Therefore, for me, it was safer to use an application-specific exception not deriving from RemoteException - this still seems to cause all the right SessionSynchronization calls to be made.

See http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ for various issues that I experienced.
