APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer application has methods defined within a container
transaction.  The Trans-Attribute for the container-transaction
is 'Required'.  Looking at the application in AAT, you can see
that the Transaction Attribute for each method is set to
'Required'.  Also in the 'ejb-jar.xml' file within the
'application.ear'file you see tag
<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
within the <container-transaction> tag.
If the method 'signature' contains an 'array', the Transaction
Attribute of the method which contains an array may be set to
an incorrect value, when the application server starts.
.
The problem the users sees is that the 'Transaction Context'
is 'switched' when this method is called, during application
code execution.
.
Additional Symptom:
timeout SQLCODE=-913 SQLSTATE=57033 (00C9008E) in the
application Server region, due to the one thread being started
with a different transaction context, even though all of the
session beans have the Transaction Attribure set to 'Required'.

Problem conclusion
Support has been modified to assign the correct transaction
attribute during runtime for all methods, including methods that
contain array type in their signature.
