Container-Managed MDB calling Web Service

Yes. In Java EE 5 there is no standard support for

flowing distributed transactions across web service

invocations.That is true regardless of what Java EE

component is acting as the webservice client : MDB,

SLSB, servlet, etc.There is some work going on

to add this support to the platorm.Here's a talk from

JavaOne on the topic :
