Interface Transaction

public interface Transaction

Allows the application to define units of work, while maintaining abstraction from the underlying transaction implementation (eg. JTA, JDBC).

A transaction is associated with a Session and is usually instantiated by a call to Session.beginTransaction(). A single session might span multiple transactions since the notion of a session (a conversation between the application and the datastore) is of coarser granularity than the notion of a transaction. However, it is intended that there be at most one uncommitted Transaction associated with a particular Session at any time.

Implementors are not intended to be threadsafe.

Method Summary

void begin()
          Begin a new transaction.

void commit()
          Flush the associated Session and end the unit of work (unless we are in FlushMode.NEVER 55 .

boolean isActive()
          Is this transaction still active?
Again, this only returns information in relation to the local transaction, not the actual underlying transaction.

void registerSynchronization(javax.transaction.Synchronization synchronization)
          Register a user synchronization callback for this transaction.

void rollback()
          Force the underlying transaction to roll back.

void setTimeout(int seconds)
          Set the transaction timeout for any transaction started by a subsequent call to begin() on this instance.

boolean wasCommitted()
          Check if this transaction was successfully committed.

boolean wasRolledBack()
          Was this transaction rolled back or set to rollback only?
This only accounts for actions initiated from this local transaction.

Method Detail

begin

public void begin()
           throws HibernateException

Begin a new transaction.

commit

public void commit()
            throws HibernateException

Flush the associated Session and end the unit of work (unless we are in FlushMode.NEVER 55 .

This method will commit the underlying transaction if and only if the underlying transaction was initiated by this object.

rollback

public void rollback()
              throws HibernateException

Force the underlying transaction to roll back.

wasRolledBack

public boolean wasRolledBack()
                      throws HibernateException

Was this transaction rolled back or set to rollback only?

This only accounts for actions initiated from this local transaction. If, for example, the underlying transaction is forced to rollback via some other means, this method still reports false because the rollback was not initiated from here.

wasCommitted

public boolean wasCommitted()
                     throws HibernateException

Check if this transaction was successfully committed.

This method could return false even after successful invocation of commit() 55 . As an example, JTA based strategies no-op on commit() 55 calls if they did not start the transaction; in that case, they also report wasCommitted() 55 as false.

isActive

public boolean isActive()
                 throws HibernateException

Is this transaction still active?

Again, this only returns information in relation to the local transaction, not the actual underlying transaction.

registerSynchronization

public void registerSynchronization(javax.transaction.Synchronization synchronization)
                             throws HibernateException

setTimeout

public void setTimeout(int seconds)

Set the transaction timeout for any transaction started by a subsequent call to begin() on this instance.
