This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote Jakarta Enterprise Beans and Jakarta Messaging, including all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the Jakarta Enterprise Beans and Jakarta Messaging BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up with different versions on classes on the class path).

There is a newer version: 35.0.0.Beta1

/**
 * The TransactionAttribute annotation specifies whether
 * the container is to invoke a business method within a transaction
 * context.  
 *
 * The TransactionAttribute annotation can be used for
 * session beans and message driven beans.  It can only be specified
 * if container managed transaction demarcation is used. 
 * 
 *
 * The annotation can be specified on the bean class and/or it can be
 * specified on methods of the class that are methods of the business
 * interface or no-interface view. 
 * 

 * Specifying the TransactionAttribute annotation on the
 * bean class  means that it applies to all applicable business 
 * methods of the class. Specifying the annotation on a 
 * method applies it to that method only. If the annotation is applied 
 * at both the class and the method level, the method value overrides 
 * if the two disagree.  
 *
 * 
 * The values of the TransactionAttribute annotation are
 * defined by the enum TransactionAttributeType.  If 
 * the TransactionAttribute annotation is not specified, and 
 * the bean uses container managed transaction demarcation, the semantics of 
 * the REQUIRED  transaction attribute are assumed.
 *
 * @see TransactionAttributeType
