EJB 3 Session Bean does not rolling back transaction

[arnabban5]

Hi,

I am using JBoss EAP 6.3 and HSQL DB. I was trying to test the transaction rollback for CMT bean.

From my transaction aware method (Annotated with REQUIRED attribute), I persisted one entity bean then thrown one RuntimeException, expeting the transaction to rollback by the server resulting in no DB insertion. But to my surprise I found the data getting inserted in DB.

Please help. I tried with custom checked exception as well(Marking with @ApplicationException(rollback=true)).

Thanks,

Please post the relevant code including the way you access and invoke on the bean.

@Stateless

@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)

public class SessionBeanFacade implements SessionBeanFacadeRemote {

@PersistenceContext(unitName="EjbComponentPU")

    EntityManager em;

    @EJB

    InnerBeanLocal innerBean;

@Override

    @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)

    public void insertRows() {

        System.out.println("Start insertRows");

        FamilyCar familyCar = new FamilyCar();

        familyCar.setIsAirConditioned(true);

        familyCar.setMake("Maker1");

          Aeroplane aeroplane = new Aeroplane();

        aeroplane.setModel("Air Asia");

        aeroplane.setMake("Air Asia");

        aeroplane.setSeatNum("500");

        em.persist(familyCar);

        em.persist(aeroplane);

        System.out.println("End insertRows");

        innerBean.insertRows();

}

@Stateless

@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)

public class InnerBean implements InnerBeanLocal {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName="EjbComponentPU")

    EntityManager em;

    @Override

    @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)

    public void insertRows() {

        System.out.println("Start insertRows in innerBean");

        Aeroplane aeroplane = new Aeroplane();

        aeroplane.setModel("Lufthansa");

        aeroplane.setMake("Lufthansa");

        aeroplane.setSeatNum("500");

        aeroplane.setSize("Big");

        em.persist(aeroplane);

        throw new RuntimeException("DEliberate RuntimeException from innerbean.......");

    }

}

From this code I was expecting the "Lfthansa aeroplane" to be rolled back only, and other two rows from OuterBean to be persisted. But NOTHING gets persisted.

That's because your outer bean which is calling the method on the inner bean, doesn't handle/catch the exception that's thrown by the inner bean. Which effectively ends up as a RuntimeException being thrown by the outer bean too. So both inner and outer beans are throwing the exception which results in both the transactions rolling back and thus nothing being persisted.
