Abstract:  Unable to modify EJB Resource Reference ISOLATION LEVEL value. (Linux)

Description/symptom of problem:  The customer was unable to change the value for Isolation Level in the IBM Extensions tab of an EJB Resource Reference.   
Steps to recreate the problem.
1) Open an existing ear file.
2) Open an existing ejb with that ear.
3) Open the Resource Reference view for that ejb.
4) Select the IBM Extension tab.
5) There is a combo box titled "ISOLATION LEVEL" with a value of "TRANSACTION NONE".
6) Change the value (e.g., to "READ COMMITTED") and select APPLY.
7) The value remains at "TRANSACTION NONE"

The problem exists for all platforms, not just Linux. Moreover, the same problem exists when the resource reference is created.  The value remains at "TRANSACTION NONE" regardless of what value is entered. The code was changed so that the modified value persists, whether at creation time or at modification time after the resource reference has been created.
