I looked in all the documentation including the JBoss Administration and Development but could not find any information on rules for the Transaction Descriptors in the ejb-jar.xml.

My questions pertain to how they are evaluated.

1) What is the default for <trans-attribute> if none are specified in the ejb-jar.xml

2) What is the order of evaluation ie if I have something like:

<container-transaction>

<ejb-name>ASessionBean</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>

<trans-attribute>NotSupported</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>

<container-transaction>

<ejb-name>ASessionBean</ejb-name>
<method-name>setX</method-name>

<trans-attribute>Requires</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>

Does this evaluate to all methods of ASessionBean have trans-attribute NotSupported except for
method setX which has Requires ?


Thanks,
