i have two methods in a stateless Session Bean which has methods methodA ( Required New ) and methodB( required New ). methodA internally calls methodB. If i remotely invoke methodA, does methodB will create a New Transaction other than the transaction of methodA.

Do i need to create a new instance of the sessionBean within methodA and then call method B to achieve this so that it is a remote invocation ?

thx

You need to create a new instance of the session bean and call method B via the remote interface in order for it to initiate a new transaction. Otherwise the call to an method B is part of method A's transaction as the container does not recognise that it needs to demarcate a new transaction.

You have to use remote interface of the methodB to start new transaction
