Class WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.transaction.jta.WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

FactoryBean

public class WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean
extends Object
implements FactoryBean

FactoryBean that retrieves the internal JTA TransactionManager of BEA's WebLogic version 7.0, which is required for proper transaction suspension support on that application server version. This class is not relevant on WebLogic 8.1+!

Uses WebLogic TxHelper's static access methods to obtain the server's internal JTA TransactionManager. This doesn't need be used with WebLogic 8.1 or higher, since the regular JNDI lookup is sufficient there: It returns a JTA TransactionManager that can handle all transaction management tasks properly.

Note that as of Spring 1.2, this class is effectively superseded by WebLogicJtaTransactionManager's autodetection of WebLogic 7.0 or 8.1+. It is only kept as a way to explicitly expose the TransactionManager on WebLogic 7.0, for non-Spring code that needs access to this facility.

For typical scenarios, use Spring's WebLogicJtaTransactionManager as-is and do not bother with setting up this FactoryBean.

Since:

1.1

Constructor Detail

WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean

public WebLogicServerTransactionManagerFactoryBean()
                                            throws TransactionSystemException

This constructor retrieves the WebLogic TransactionManager factory class, so we can get access to the JTA TransactionManager.

Throws:

TransactionSystemException

Method Detail

getObject

public Object getObject()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.

As with a BeanFactory, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

If this FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet at the time of the call (for example because it is involved in a circular reference), throw a corresponding FactoryBeanNotInitializedException.

As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return null objects. The factory will consider this as normal value to be used; it will not throw a FactoryBeanNotInitializedException in this case anymore. FactoryBean implementations are encouraged to throw FactoryBeanNotInitializedException themselves now, as appropriate.

Specified by:

getObject in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

an instance of the bean (can be null)

See Also:

FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public Class getObjectType()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance.

This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Specified by:

getObjectType in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()

Description copied from interface: FactoryBean

Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will FactoryBean.getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

Specified by:

isSingleton in interface FactoryBean

Returns:

whether the exposed object is a singleton
