Interface EJBContextExtension
- All Superinterfaces:
jakarta.ejb.EJBContext
- All Known Subinterfaces:
MessageDrivenContextExtension
,SessionContextExtension
EJBContextExtension
interface may be used by an
EJB to invoke WebSphere-specific EJB Container services. An EJB may invoke the EJBContextExtension methods by casting the context object passed into the EJB's setSessionContext() or setMessageDrivenContext() method, to com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.EJBContextExtension. Typically the code in setSessionContext() or setMessageDrivenContext assigns the context object to a bean instance variable for later use by other bean methods.
In WebSphere, all jakarta.ejb.EJBContext objects also implement this interface. This allows the bean to use a single 'context' instance variable (of type EJBContextExtension) and be able to invoke EJB specification-defined methods as well as WebSphere-defined methods on the same context object. It is also possible, of course, to assign the context object to two instance variables, one of type jakarta.ejb.EJBContext and another of type com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.EJBContextExtension.
For each subinterface of jakarta.ejb.EJBContext, a corresponding
WebSphere-defined context extension interface extends both the applicable
subinterface of EJBContext and this EJBContextExtension interface.
See MessageDrivenContextExtension
and SessionContextExtension
.
Note: Application use of some of the methods on this interface may result in behavior not compliant with the official EJB specification. If this is the case, the documentation for that method will indicate so.

isTransactionGlobal
boolean isTransactionGlobal()Returns true when the current thread is associated with a global transaction; otherwise, returns false.This method is useful for container managed transaction beans that may run in either a global transaction or an unspecified (local) transaction context. Since the EJBContext methods getRollbackOnly() and setRollbackOnly() may only be called when running in a global transaction, this method may be used to determine when these other methods may be called.
