For BMT bean, we have rollback() and setRollbackOnly(). Actuall, why we need both, while both are used to rollback the transaction?
Is there any differences is there between rollback() and setRollbackOnly()

A BMT bean does not (must not) call setRollbackOnly()

BMT and CMT both can call setRollbackonly, the only difference is that BMT should call it on UserTransaction where as CMT should call on it's context. It will be useful only when there is multiple component inlvolves in single transaction and you would like to do transaction commit or rollback based on other component outcome.

Example :

UserTransaction ut = context.getUserTransaction();
ut.begin;
OtherComponent oth = new OtherComponent();
oth.doStuff(ut);
if(ut.getStatus() == javax.transaction.Status.STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK) {
ut.rollback();
}
else
{
do some processing
ut.commit;
}

//OtherComponent

public void doStuff(UserTransaction ut){
do processing1
if(something went wrong){
ut.setRollbackOnly();
}
else{
do processing 2
}
}

Though above things can be achieved using proper exception handling instead of using setRollbackOnly.

Regards,
Rajan
