UserTransaction

public interface UserTransaction
The UserTransaction interface defines the methods that allow an application to explicitly manage transaction boundaries.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public voidbegin()
Create a new transaction and associate it with the current thread.

exception
NotSupportedException Thrown if the thread is already associated with a transaction and the Transaction Manager implementation does not support nested transactions.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.

public voidcommit()
Complete the transaction associated with the current thread. When this method completes, the thread is no longer associated with a transaction.

exception
RollbackException Thrown to indicate that the transaction has been rolled back rather than committed.
exception
HeuristicMixedException Thrown to indicate that a heuristic decision was made and that some relevant updates have been committed while others have been rolled back.
exception
HeuristicRollbackException Thrown to indicate that a heuristic decision was made and that all relevant updates have been rolled back.
exception
SecurityException Thrown to indicate that the thread is not allowed to commit the transaction.
exception
IllegalStateException Thrown if the current thread is not associated with a transaction.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.

public intgetStatus()
Obtain the status of the transaction associated with the current thread.

return
The transaction status. If no transaction is associated with the current thread, this method returns the Status.NoTransaction value.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.

public voidrollback()
Roll back the transaction associated with the current thread. When this method completes, the thread is no longer associated with a transaction.

exception
SecurityException Thrown to indicate that the thread is not allowed to roll back the transaction.
exception
IllegalStateException Thrown if the current thread is not associated with a transaction.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.

public voidsetRollbackOnly()
Modify the transaction associated with the current thread such that the only possible outcome of the transaction is to roll back the transaction.

exception
IllegalStateException Thrown if the current thread is not associated with a transaction.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.

public voidsetTransactionTimeout(int seconds)
Modify the timeout value that is associated with transactions started by the current thread with the begin method.

If an application has not called this method, the transaction service uses some default value for the transaction timeout.

param
seconds The value of the timeout in seconds. If the value is zero, the transaction service restores the default value. If the value is negative a SystemException is thrown.
exception
SystemException Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.
