      org.springframework.orm.toplink.TopLinkTransactionManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, PlatformTransactionManager

public class TopLinkTransactionManager
extends AbstractPlatformTransactionManager
implements InitializingBean

PlatformTransactionManager implementation for a single TopLink SessionFactory. Binds a TopLink Session from the specified factory to the thread, potentially allowing for one thread Session per factory. SessionFactoryUtils and TopLinkTemplate are aware of thread-bound Sessions and participate in such transactions automatically. Using either is required for TopLink access code that needs to support this transaction handling mechanism.

This implementation is appropriate for applications that solely use TopLink for transactional data access. JTA (usually through JtaTransactionManager) is necessary for accessing multiple transactional resources. Note that you need to configure TopLink with an appropriate external transaction controller, to make it participate in JTA transactions. In contrast to Hibernate, this cannot be transparently provided by the Spring transaction manager implementation.

This implementation also supports direct DataSource access within a transaction (i.e. plain JDBC code working with the same DataSource), but only for transactions that are not marked as read-only. This allows for mixing services that access TopLink (including transactional caching) and services that use plain JDBC (without being aware of TopLink)! Application code needs to stick to the same simple Connection lookup pattern as with DataSourceTransactionManager (i.e. DataSourceUtils.getConnection).

Note that to be able to register a DataSource's Connection for plain JDBC code, this instance needs to be aware of the DataSource (see "dataSource" property). The given DataSource should obviously match the one used by the given TopLink SessionFactory.

On JDBC 3.0, this transaction manager supports nested transactions via JDBC 3.0 Savepoints. The "nestedTransactionAllowed" flag defaults to false, though, as nested transactions will just apply to the JDBC Connection, not to the TopLink Session and its cached objects. You can manually set the flag to true if you want to use nested transactions for JDBC access code that participates in TopLink transactions (provided that your JDBC driver supports Savepoints).

Thanks to Slavik Markovich for implementing the initial TopLink support prototype!

Constructor Detail

TopLinkTransactionManager

public TopLinkTransactionManager()

Create a new TopLinkTransactionManager instance. A SessionFactory has to be specified to be able to use it.

See Also:

setSessionFactory(org.springframework.orm.toplink.SessionFactory)

TopLinkTransactionManager

public TopLinkTransactionManager(SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Create a new TopLinkTransactionManager instance.

Parameters:

sessionFactory - the TopLink SessionFactory to manage transactions for

Method Detail

setSessionFactory

public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Set the the TopLink SessionFactory to manage transactions for. This will usually be a ServerSessionFactory.

The passed-in SessionFactory will be asked for a plain Session in case of a read-only transaction (where no active UnitOfWork is supposed to be available), and for a managed Session else (with an active UnitOfWork that will be committed by this transaction manager).

See Also:

ServerSessionFactory, SessionFactory.createSession(), SessionFactory.createManagedClientSession()

getSessionFactory

public SessionFactory getSessionFactory()

Return the SessionFactory that this instance should manage transactions for.

setDataSource

public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource)

Set the JDBC DataSource that this instance should manage transactions for. The DataSource should match the one used by the TopLink SessionFactory: for example, you could specify the same JNDI DataSource for both.

A transactional JDBC Connection for this DataSource will be provided to application code accessing this DataSource directly via DataSourceUtils or JdbcTemplate. The Connection will be taken from the TopLink Session. This will only happen for transactions that are not marked as read-only. TopLink does not support database transactions for pure read-only operations on a Session (that is, without a UnitOfWork).

Note that you need to use a TopLink Session with a DatabaseAccessor to allow for exposing TopLink transactions as JDBC transactions. This is the case of all standard TopLink configurations.

The DataSource specified here should be the target DataSource to manage transactions for, not a TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy. Only data access code may work with TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy, while the transaction manager needs to work on the underlying target DataSource. If there's nevertheless a TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy passed in, it will be unwrapped to extract its target DataSource.

See Also:

TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy, DataSourceUtils, JdbcTemplate

getDataSource

public DataSource getDataSource()

Return the JDBC DataSource that this instance manages transactions for.

setLazyDatabaseTransaction

public void setLazyDatabaseTransaction(boolean lazyDatabaseTransaction)

Set whether to lazily start a database transaction within a TopLink transaction.

By default, database transactions are started early. This allows for reusing the same JDBC Connection throughout an entire transaction, including read operations, and also for exposing TopLink transactions to JDBC access code (working on the same DataSource).

It is only recommended to switch this flag to "true" when no JDBC access code is involved in any of the transactions, and when it is acceptable to perform read operations outside of the transactional JDBC Connection.

See Also:

setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource), UnitOfWork.beginEarlyTransaction()

isLazyDatabaseTransaction

public boolean isLazyDatabaseTransaction()

Return whether to lazily start a database transaction within a TopLink transaction.

setJdbcExceptionTranslator

public void setJdbcExceptionTranslator(SQLExceptionTranslator jdbcExceptionTranslator)

Set the JDBC exception translator for this instance. Applied to TopLink DatabaseExceptions thrown on commit.

The default exception translator is either a SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator if a DataSource is available, or a SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator else.

Parameters:

jdbcExceptionTranslator - the exception translator

See Also:

DatabaseException, SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator, SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator, setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource)

getJdbcExceptionTranslator

public SQLExceptionTranslator getJdbcExceptionTranslator()

Return the JDBC exception translator for this transaction manager.

Creates a default SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator or SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator for the specified SessionFactory, if no exception translator explicitly specified.

See Also:

setJdbcExceptionTranslator(org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLExceptionTranslator)

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

doGetTransaction

protected Object doGetTransaction()

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Return a transaction object for the current transaction state.

The returned object will usually be specific to the concrete transaction manager implementation, carrying corresponding transaction state in a modifiable fashion. This object will be passed into the other template methods (e.g. doBegin and doCommit), either directly or as part of a DefaultTransactionStatus instance.

The returned object should contain information about any existing transaction, that is, a transaction that has already started before the current getTransaction call on the transaction manager. Consequently, a doGetTransaction implementation will usually look for an existing transaction and store corresponding state in the returned transaction object.

Specified by:

doGetTransaction in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Returns:

the current transaction object

See Also:

AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doBegin(java.lang.Object, org.springframework.transaction.TransactionDefinition), AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doCommit(org.springframework.transaction.support.DefaultTransactionStatus), AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doRollback(org.springframework.transaction.support.DefaultTransactionStatus), DefaultTransactionStatus.getTransaction()

isExistingTransaction

protected boolean isExistingTransaction(Object transaction)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Check if the given transaction object indicates an existing transaction (that is, a transaction which has already started).

The result will be evaluated according to the specified propagation behavior for the new transaction. An existing transaction might get suspended (in case of PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW), or the new transaction might participate in the existing one (in case of PROPAGATION_REQUIRED).

Default implementation returns false, assuming that detection of or participating in existing transactions is generally not supported. Subclasses are of course encouraged to provide such support.

Overrides:

isExistingTransaction in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

transaction - transaction object returned by doGetTransaction

Returns:

if there is an existing transaction

See Also:

AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doGetTransaction()

doBegin

protected void doBegin(Object transaction,
                       TransactionDefinition definition)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Begin a new transaction with the given transaction definition. Does not have to care about applying the propagation behavior, as this has already been handled by this abstract manager.

Specified by:

doBegin in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

transaction - transaction object returned by doGetTransaction

definition - TransactionDefinition instance, describing propagation behavior, isolation level, timeout etc.

getJdbcConnection

protected Connection getJdbcConnection(oracle.toplink.sessions.Session session)

Extract the underlying JDBC Connection from the given TopLink Session.

Default implementation casts to oracle.toplink.publicinterface.Session and fetches the Connection from the DatabaseAccessor exposed there.

Parameters:

session - the current TopLink Session

Returns:

the underlying JDBC Connection, or null if none found

See Also:

Session.getAccessor(), DatabaseAccessor.getConnection()

doSuspend

protected Object doSuspend(Object transaction)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Suspend the resources of the current transaction. Transaction synchronization will already have been suspended.

Default implementation throws a TransactionSuspensionNotSupportedException, assuming that transaction suspension is generally not supported.

Overrides:

doSuspend in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

transaction - transaction object returned by doGetTransaction

Returns:

an object that holds suspended resources (will be kept unexamined for passing it into doResume)

See Also:

AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doResume(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

doResume

protected void doResume(Object transaction,
                        Object suspendedResources)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Resume the resources of the current transaction. Transaction synchronization will be resumed afterwards.

Default implementation throws a TransactionSuspensionNotSupportedException, assuming that transaction suspension is generally not supported.

Overrides:

doResume in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

transaction - transaction object returned by doGetTransaction

suspendedResources - the object that holds suspended resources, as returned by doSuspend

See Also:

AbstractPlatformTransactionManager.doSuspend(java.lang.Object)

doCommit

protected void doCommit(DefaultTransactionStatus status)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Perform an actual commit of the given transaction.

An implementation does not need to check the "new transaction" flag or the rollback-only flag; this will already have been handled before. Usually, a straight commit will be performed on the transaction object contained in the passed-in status.

Specified by:

doCommit in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

status - the status representation of the transaction

See Also:

DefaultTransactionStatus.getTransaction()

doRollback

protected void doRollback(DefaultTransactionStatus status)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Perform an actual rollback of the given transaction.

An implementation does not need to check the "new transaction" flag; this will already have been handled before. Usually, a straight rollback will be performed on the transaction object contained in the passed-in status.

Specified by:

doRollback in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

status - the status representation of the transaction

See Also:

DefaultTransactionStatus.getTransaction()

doSetRollbackOnly

protected void doSetRollbackOnly(DefaultTransactionStatus status)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Set the given transaction rollback-only. Only called on rollback if the current transaction participates in an existing one.

Default implementation throws an IllegalTransactionStateException, assuming that participating in existing transactions is generally not supported. Subclasses are of course encouraged to provide such support.

Overrides:

doSetRollbackOnly in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

status - the status representation of the transaction

doCleanupAfterCompletion

protected void doCleanupAfterCompletion(Object transaction)

Description copied from class: AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Cleanup resources after transaction completion. Called after doCommit and doRollback execution, on any outcome. Default implementation does nothing.

Should not throw any exceptions but just issue warnings on errors.

Overrides:

doCleanupAfterCompletion in class AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

Parameters:

transaction - transaction object returned by doGetTransaction

convertTopLinkAccessException

protected DataAccessException convertTopLinkAccessException(oracle.toplink.exceptions.TopLinkException ex)

Convert the given TopLinkException to an appropriate exception from the org.springframework.dao hierarchy. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

ex - TopLinkException that occured

Returns:

the corresponding DataAccessException instance

convertJdbcAccessException

protected DataAccessException convertJdbcAccessException(SQLException ex)

Convert the given SQLException to an appropriate exception from the org.springframework.dao hierarchy. Uses a JDBC exception translater if set, and a generic TopLinkJdbcException else. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

ex - SQLException that occured

Returns:

the corresponding DataAccessException instance
