Cannot enable TX support from the Edit web service Attributes dialog in an EJB project 1. Create an EJB module project and configure it to be exposed as a web-service. 2. Right click on the project class in the "Web Services" folder under the EJB project and select "Edit web service Attributes" option. 3. In the dialog box, trying to set a value for the "Transaction" attribute for any of the web-service operations fails as the dialog to select the options is disabled. Attached a screen shot of the dialog with the disabled Transaction attribute dropdown.

This is as designed - for controlling TX setup in EJB project you can use the regular JavaEE Tx annotations.
This is definitely an usability issue. User using NB/open-esb tools can build WS in web application, EJB application or Composite application (CASA). To add quality of services transaction, security, MTOM, Reliable Message Delivery etc. to web services, user selects action "Edit Web Service Attributes" from context menu on WS/ SOAP EP, it brings up "Quality of Services"/"WS Policy Attachment" (inconsistent names for window, CASA uses later name, why it is not "Quality of Services"?) Consistent behavior is required from all the thee paths. Stating that for EJB WS user needs to use JavaEE Tx annotations, is this not introducing inconsistent behavior? Can a user configure all the QOS features available on "WSIT" window from JavaEE annotation? If not, is this not another configuration? When a "Quality" is grayed out, are we conveying this feature is not available vs can not be configured from here? What is the grayed out QOS feature means? Is this consistent with NB gui standards?
Based on discussion, Tx were enabled.
