hi,
i have a problem with rolling back transactions that are splitted into
several method invacation on the same stateful bean.

my bean (lets call it BeanEJB) looks like:

@Stateful
@TransactionAttribute( TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW )
public class BasicImport implements ImportTool {

 Logger log = Logger.getLogger(BasicImport.class);

 private int recordNumber = 0;

 @PersistenceContext(unitName="SpaEM", type=PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
 EntityManager em;

 public BasicImport() {
 }

 public String readRecord(BufferedReader br) throws IOException {

 }

 public void importRecord(Account a) {
 }

 public void importRecords( BufferedReader br, int rn ) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException, ImportException {

 }

 @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
 public void importRecords( String data, int recordNumber) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException, ImportException {
 log.info("Transaction: "+em.getTransaction().toString());
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new StringReader(data));
 importRecords(br, recordNumber);
 }

 public Account parseRecord(String record) throws InvalidFormatException {

 }

 @Remove
 public void commit() {
 log.info("Remove method - flushing");
 em.flush();
 }

 public int getRecordLineLength() {

 }
}

now i have another bean (lets call it BeanB - simple bean stored in HttpSession - not EJB) that is supposed to make use of the bean above.

in BaneB i have following code:

ImportTool it = (ImportTool)getInitialCtx().lookup(IMPORT_USERS_BEAN);
...
it.importRecords(part, toRead);
it.importRecords(part, toRead);

it.commit();
...

now i have prepared data thac causes exception udring second execution of it.importRecords(part, toRead);

blah blah

my question is: why data written to database in first invacation of
it.importRecords(part, toRead);
is not rolled back ??
instead data written in second transaction is in fact rolled back.

am i doing something wrong ??
im using postgresql database "psql (PostgreSQL) 8.1.3"
