WLS12.1.1 : Fails To Identify Invalid EJB Transaction-attribute (Doc ID 1619299.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 23, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 12.1.1.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

With an EJB Timer deployed and an a transaction-attribute of "Never", which is not supported for EJB Timers. Per the API:

"For an enterprise bean's timeout callback methods, only the REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW and NOT_SUPPORTED values may be used. "
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/ejb/TransactionAttributeType.html


However, updating the transaction attribute to Never still allowed the deployment to succeed. This deployment should have failed.
As a workaround, one can stop all servers in domain, delete all cached files, start the servers, and then redeploy the Timer with the transaction attribute set to Never.  Then deployment fails, as expected.
