Envers causing a rollback during Seam @Asynchrounous call

[John Ericksen]

My team and I are having an issue getting envers to work within a Seam @Asynchronous call.  Specifically, we are using a quartz task to trigger a method call on an ongoing basis.  We introduced Envers recently to start tracking history of a bean in our application.  Enves works like a charm from the front end of the application, but when it is utilized duing the @Asynchronous call we get the following error:

javax.ejb.EJBException: Transaction aborted; nested exception is: javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.

javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.

I understand that Envers does its work at the point that the database session is closed.  Also, we determined that envers was the culprit for this problem by removing the listener and related classes, and the persist duing the @Asynchronous call starts to work again.

Is there something I have to do special during an @Asynchrounous call to accomodate envers?

I appreciate the help on this issue.

Hmm it would be good to see what is actually the exception. There's no other exception in the stack trace that could indicate an issue? Maybe you can try breakpointing at AuditProcess.doBeforeTransactionCompletion and stepping until you get the exception?

Yes, unfortunately there is no other exception thrown.  Ive searched both the application and server logs.

I was unable to find the AuditProcess class...  I am using envers version 1.2.2.GA-hibernate-3.3 becuase of compatability issues with hibernate / jpa / app server.  Is there another class I could investigate?

[John Ericksen]

Adam,

Looks like I was able to solve the issue.  You mentionoing the AuditProcess class put me on the path to find the AuditSync class where the beforeCompletion() call is being made in 1.2.2.  From there I was able to view the exception and determined it was an unavalable required @In injection in the seam graph grabbed from the RevisionListener.

Nevertheless, thanks for the quick response.  Its funny how things get fixed as soon as you start reaching out to people.

Heh, glad you found it I think the exception reporting has been fixed in newer versions (you are using quite an old Hibernate )
