Hello Muraly,

of course you can/should use both tags at the same time.
Entity beans must be accessed in a transactional context.
If instance is locked, then only one tx (holding the lock) has access
to the instance. If instance is not locked then many transactions can
access the instance at the same time.
So, read-only says to lock or not to lock an instance when it is
accessed in a transaction.
