Hi.
Af far as I understand, the CMP Bean instance is not associated with transaction until any business method is called (i.e. all except ones in EntityBean interface like getPrimaryKey).
The ejbCreate/ejbFind do not assotiate entity found with tx context.
Why? As I found from my expirience it is a source of many dead-lock scenarious in case when DB exclusively locks table with INSERT statement corresponding to ejbCreate (and holds it till the end of tx). I can follow with examples, if required.
Does it mandated by spec? Or has it some explanation?
