The answer is ambiguous. I understand from the explanation that only CMT transaction attributes can be changed in the deployment descriptor. In the question we have BMT. So, to me, in this case transaction attributes cannot be changed in the deployment descriptor. The question states "There is no mechanism", so why FALSE is the correct choice?

Sorry, an admin can delete my bad post.
Thanks

@TransactionAttribute cannot be used with bean transaction management. I received exception from Glassfish:
Method level transaction attributes may not be specified on a bean with transaction type

The question is wrong in my opinion.

Method level transaction attributes may not be specified on a bean with transaction type [Bean]

Sorry, my mistake. The question is right .

the question seems to be illogical. there cannot be transaction attribute on the bean with BMT. if you try to , we will get exception.there is no provision for transaction attribute in case of BMT, so assembler changing it is just out of scope. dont you think the question should be reframed.

The answer for the question

There is no mechanism for an Application Assembler to change the transaction attribute of a method of a session bean that uses bean-managed transaction demarcation.

is true.
Because the Transaction Management (CTM or BTM) is a structural information and it is not meant to be altered by the application assembler. The Transaction attribute can be altered by the application assembler. The trick here is that the BTM does now have a transaction attributes

So we can not change the Transaction Management from CTM to BTM in order to be able to add/alter the transaction mechanisms --> the answer is true, There is no mechanism ....
