Transaction rollbacks - how to control them
Hi,
Yuan/Heute write in their book JBoss Seam
By default, the transaction is rolled back only when an unchecked exception occurs.
But in my case this doesn't seem to work: in a delete action, where the db complains about a constraint violation exception and a unchecked exception is thrown, seam tries to rollback the transaction, but then the following error appears: could not roll back transaction java.util.EmptyStackException
.
Why that? Here's the stack trace.

On the other side if I catch the exception the transaction is rolled back properly.
Also this behaviour is not what I would expect as Yuan gives only three possibilites to force a rollback:
- RuntimeExceptions
- raise a @ApplicationException
- use @Rollback with return-value
What do I miss here?
