JDBC transactions in EJB 2.0

[Raj Shenoy]

Hi All,

This is my first post in code ranch!

I am using EJB 2.0 for coding my business logic and use entity beans for persistence.
But I have few business methods in stateless session beans, which uses JDBC queries.
I am using the default transactional attribute "Required".

The connection are retrieved from the data source deployed in the application server.
My concept(s) regarding JDBC when it is used in EJBs are:

1. When connection is retrieved from data source in EJB method, the executed SQL
queries form part of the transactions initiated by the container for the EJB method.
2. When a system exception is thrown the transaction will be rolled back by the container.

Now the issue is that the transaction rollback is not happening if SYSTEM exception is thrown in between.
I tried setting the attribute to "RequiresNew" for the EJB method to initiate new transaction, but still not working.
Could anyone point out, whether my understanding is right, or what I am doing wrong.


Thanks in advance,
Raj.

MySQL has 2 different engines. InnoDB and MyISAM http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/storage-engines.html. Only InnoDB supports transactions. So make sure that you have configured your DB tables to use InnoDB. Check the MySQL manual for more details.

Hi JaiKiran,

I didn't refresh the page, and hence posted last message.
Really thankful for your quick reply. Yes we use MyIsam engine.
I guess now I have my answer to further research on!


Thanks once again.
