Class TransactionSynchronizationManager

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionSynchronizationManager

public abstract class TransactionSynchronizationManager
extends java.lang.Object

Central delegate that manages resources and transaction synchronizations per thread. To be used by resource management code but not by typical application code.

Supports one resource per key without overwriting, that is, a resource needs to be removed before a new one can be set for the same key. Supports a list of transaction synchronizations if synchronization is active.

Resource management code should check for thread-bound resources, e.g. JDBC Connections or Hibernate Sessions, via getResource. Such code is normally not supposed to bind resources to threads, as this is the responsibility of transaction managers. A further option is to lazily bind on first use if transaction synchronization is active, for performing transactions that span an arbitrary number of resources.

Transaction synchronization must be activated and deactivated by a transaction manager via initSynchronization() and clearSynchronization(). This is automatically supported by AbstractPlatformTransactionManager, and thus by all standard Spring transaction managers, such as JtaTransactionManager and DataSourceTransactionManager.

Resource management code should only register synchronizations when this manager is active, which can be checked via isSynchronizationActive(); it should perform immediate resource cleanup else. If transaction synchronization isn't active, there is either no current transaction, or the transaction manager doesn't support transaction synchronization.

Synchronization is for example used to always return the same resources within a JTA transaction, e.g. a JDBC Connection or a Hibernate Session for any given DataSource or SessionFactory, respectively.

Unbind a resource for the given key from the current thread.

Parameters:

key - the key to unbind (usually the resource factory)

Returns:

the previously bound value, or null if none bound

isSynchronizationActive

public static boolean isSynchronizationActive()

Return if transaction synchronization is active for the current thread. Can be called before register to avoid unnecessary instance creation.

See Also:

registerSynchronization(org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionSynchronization)

initSynchronization

public static void initSynchronization()
                                throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Activate transaction synchronization for the current thread. Called by a transaction manager on transaction begin.

public static void registerSynchronization(TransactionSynchronization synchronization)
                                    throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Register a new transaction synchronization for the current thread. Typically called by resource management code.

Note that synchronizations can implement the Ordered interface. They will be executed in an order according to their order value (if any).

Parameters:

synchronization - the synchronization object to register

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if transaction synchronization is not active

See Also:

Ordered

getSynchronizations

public static java.util.List<TransactionSynchronization> getSynchronizations()
                                                                      throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if synchronization is not active

See Also:

TransactionSynchronization

clearSynchronization

public static void clearSynchronization()
                                 throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Deactivate transaction synchronization for the current thread. Called by the transaction manager on transaction cleanup.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if synchronization is not active

setCurrentTransactionName

public static void setCurrentTransactionName(@Nullable
                                             java.lang.String name)

Expose the name of the current transaction, if any. Called by the transaction manager on transaction begin and on cleanup.

Parameters:

name - the name of the transaction, or null to reset it

See Also:

TransactionDefinition.getName()

getCurrentTransactionName

@Nullable
public static java.lang.String getCurrentTransactionName()

Return the name of the current transaction, or null if none set. To be called by resource management code for optimizations per use case, for example to optimize fetch strategies for specific named transactions.

See Also:

TransactionDefinition.getName()

setCurrentTransactionReadOnly

public static void setCurrentTransactionReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Expose a read-only flag for the current transaction. Called by the transaction manager on transaction begin and on cleanup.

Parameters:

readOnly - true to mark the current transaction as read-only; false to reset such a read-only marker

See Also:

TransactionDefinition.isReadOnly()

isCurrentTransactionReadOnly

public static boolean isCurrentTransactionReadOnly()

Return whether the current transaction is marked as read-only. To be called by resource management code when preparing a newly created resource (for example, a Hibernate Session).

Note that transaction synchronizations receive the read-only flag as argument for the beforeCommit callback, to be able to suppress change detection on commit. The present method is meant to be used for earlier read-only checks, for example to set the flush mode of a Hibernate Session to "FlushMode.NEVER" upfront.

Expose an isolation level for the current transaction. Called by the transaction manager on transaction begin and on cleanup.

Parameters:

isolationLevel - the isolation level to expose, according to the JDBC Connection constants (equivalent to the corresponding Spring TransactionDefinition constants), or null to reset it

See Also:

Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED, Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ, Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_READ_COMMITTED, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_REPEATABLE_READ, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_SERIALIZABLE, TransactionDefinition.getIsolationLevel()

getCurrentTransactionIsolationLevel

@Nullable

Return the isolation level for the current transaction, if any. To be called by resource management code when preparing a newly created resource (for example, a JDBC Connection).

Returns:

the currently exposed isolation level, according to the JDBC Connection constants (equivalent to the corresponding Spring TransactionDefinition constants), or null if none

See Also:

Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED, Connection.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ, Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_READ_COMMITTED, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_REPEATABLE_READ, TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_SERIALIZABLE, TransactionDefinition.getIsolationLevel()

setActualTransactionActive

public static void setActualTransactionActive(boolean active)

Expose whether there currently is an actual transaction active. Called by the transaction manager on transaction begin and on cleanup.

Parameters:

active - true to mark the current thread as being associated with an actual transaction; false to reset that marker

isActualTransactionActive

public static boolean isActualTransactionActive()

Return whether there currently is an actual transaction active. This indicates whether the current thread is associated with an actual transaction rather than just with active transaction synchronization.

To be called by resource management code that wants to discriminate between active transaction synchronization (with or without backing resource transaction; also on PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS) and an actual transaction being active (with backing resource transaction; on PROPAGATION_REQUIRED, PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW, etc).

isSynchronizationActive()

clear

public static void clear()

Clear the entire transaction synchronization state for the current thread: registered synchronizations as well as the various transaction characteristics.
