I am using JBoss 3.2.6 and I have a deadlock problems even after setting read-only flag on methods that match the pattern: "get*" and "is*".

I read the following about Resin:

By default, Resin knows that findXXX, ejbSelectXXX, and cmp-field and cmr-field getXXX methods are read transactions. It assumes that all other business methods are update transactions.

I have read here in the forums that cmr-field getXXX take TX locks. Is that true? if so, how can I avoid it?
