I have a stateless session bean that I do not want to support transactions.

When I set the transactional attribute to Not Supported, the bean executes without any errors, indicates the correct number of rows modified, but no updates happen to the database.

If I set the same code with Required transactional attrbute all goes well.

I am using the Oracle thin driver, and the oracle db instance is set to transaction_serializable.

Is there a way to make a bean not to be part of the transaction?
