Hi!

Everytime I use a read-only pattern(get*) on my EntityBean, the pessimistic locking stops working (for other methods also)! It behaves just like optimistic locking. I experimented for a few days, I read the forums and the JBoss 4.0 Book, there is nothing on this behaviour.

some of the xdoclet tags (the ones that count):

/**
 * Autogenerated EJB implementation class for SystemKontoEB
 *
 *
 *
 * @ejb.bean
 * generate = "true"
 * name = "SystemKontoEB"
 * type = "CMP"
 * cmp-version = "2.x"
 * view-type = "local"
 * local-jndi-name = "ejb/SystemKontoEB"
 * reentrant = "true"
 *
 * @jboss.container-configuration
 * name = "Standard CMP 2.x EntityBean Pessimistic"
 *
 * @jboss.cache-invalidation
 * value = "true"
 *
 * @jboss.cache-invalidation-config
 * invalidation-group-name = "SystemKontoEBGroup"
 *
 * @jboss.tuned-updates
 *
 * @jboss.entity-command
 * name = "no-select-before-insert"
 *
 * @jboss.read-ahead
 * strategy = "on-load"
 * page-size = "20"
 *
 * @ejb.util
 * generate = "physical"
 *
 * @ejb.transaction
 * type = "Required"
 *
 * @ejb.persistence
 * table-name = "SYSTEMKONTO"
 *
 * @jboss.method-attributes
 * pattern = "get*"
 * read-only = "true"
 */

"Standard CMP 2.x EntityBean Pessimistic" is the same as "Standard CMP 2.x EntityBean" only with the modifications below. I use my own invalidation methods, if you wonder why i do this.

<locking-policy>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.lock.QueuedPessimisticEJBLock</locking-policy>

Any ideas why the read-only method tag (get*) would interfere with the pessimistic locking of other methods which don't match the get* pattern?
