Wow, are you kidding me?  I have three books and I've read the spec and 
don't recall seeing that piece of magic documentation.  Could I trouble 
you to point out where you found it?

(Yes, I'm using JEE 6 and JTA transactions.)

Yes, I have CDI available.  I haven't read up on CDI completely yet, and 
it's a bit more involved than ManagedBean/ManagedProperty, so I'm 
playing with those two while I come up to speed on CDI.  It'll happen soon.
