    EntityTransactionInterceptor with correct EntityManager in J2SE

    awestwel

      Hey Everyone


      I wanted to get some clarification regarding the example show at http://seamframework.org/Documentation/WeldAndJPARunningInTomcat


      1. Created a class to produce my EntityManager


      public class PersistenceProducer {
         @Produces @TicketManager @PersistenceContext(unitName="LogicBoxTicketManager") EntityManager entityManager;
      }
      




      2. Create a manager class(Singleton) with a simple qualifier named TicketManager


      @Singleton
      @Named("TestManager")
      public class TestManager {
              @Inject @TicketManager EntityManager entityManager;
      
              @Transactional
              public void persist(TestBean testBean) {
                 entityManager.persist(testBean);
              }
      }
      



      3. Added source for the EntityTransactionInterceptor (which I know is being called) and the transactional qualifier


      @Transactional
      @Interceptor
      public class EntityTransactionInterceptor {
      
              private @Inject @Any EntityManager entityManager;
      
              @AroundInvoke
              public Object aroundInvoke(InvocationContext invocationContext) throws Exception {
                      boolean active = !(entityManager.getTransaction().isActive());
                      if(active) {
                              entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
                      }
                      try {
                              Object result = invocationContext.proceed();
                              if(active) {
                                      entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
                              }
                              return result;
                      }
                      catch (Exception exception) {
                              if (active) entityManager.getTransaction().rollback();
                              throw exception;
                      }
              }
      }




      My question is in regards to the EntityTransactionInterceptor. How does it know to use the instance of the EntityManager defined in the TestManager and not to create a new one? I understand the @Inject basics but how does the Interceptor know which EntityManager to inject? Especially with mine containing another qualifier @TicketManager?


      The reason I ask is the sample code runs fine but no record is added to the database. I am assuming this is because it is not getting the correct EntityManager from the TestManager class. If I remove the @Transactional from the persist method and add the following lines around the persist method it works fine.




      -> entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
      entityManager.persist(auditTypeBean);
      -> entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
      




      Thanks for the help in advanced :)
