Toplink 9.0.4.8 and JTS on OAS 10.1.2.0.0 and 10.1.2.0.2 not rolling back

Toplink 9.0.4.8 and JTS not rolling back transaction
Hi
Scenario:
I have a session bean (EJB1) calling a session bean (EJB2).
When an EJB1 is called, EJB1 persists data on to Table1 in database.
And EJB1 makes multiple calls to EJB2 to create entries in three different tables. Trans-attribute is set as required on both EJBS.
Problem:
EJB1 gets a Runtime Exception while inserting the data into TABLE1 (ORA-12899: value too large for column), EJB1 transaction is rollback, but all other transactions related to EJB2 are getting committed. I assume that they should roll back too.
Also, I did JAD on external transaction controller and listener and noticed that there is a transaction associated to each call. Meaning EJB1 had Transaction T1 and EJB2 had T2, T3, and T4 for the subsequent calls. When EJB1 is getting runtime exception in the method beforeCompletion(), the it calls rollbackGlobalTransaction() which is calling T1.setRollbackonly(). But not on on T2, T3, and T4 rollback
Am I missing anything?
Please help me
Here are my configuration details:
The datasource configuration:

Toplink Helper class that is used by both EJB's
This one uses SessionBroker. here is how it is initialized:
SessionManager manager = SessionManager.getManager();
sessionBroker = (SessionBroker) manager.getSession(xmlLoader,
sessionBrokerName, this.getClass().getClassLoader());
Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController extController = new Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController();
sessionBroker.setExternalTransactionController(extController);
It has common following commong methods:
public UnitOfWork getUnitOfWork() {
UnitOfWork uow = sessionBroker.getActiveUnitOfWork();
return uow;
public Object create(Object o)
UnitOfWork uow = getUnitOfWork();
uow.registerNewObject(o);
// added so that the assigned sequence number will be available before the commit happens
uow.assignSequenceNumber(o);
return o;
}

A couple of this appear different in your sessions.xml. To do what you want you need to configure TopLink to:
1. Use an external XT controller - requires flag to be set and controller provided
2. Use the OC4J data source - requires flag to be set and data source name provided
I notice that your sessions.xml has both a data source name as well as a direct connection URL.
Here is a sample that shows the proper settings for the external TX and data source usage:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
