Hi
Latest progress now is that I have introduced the *transacted* DSL
keyword in both Java DSL and Spring DSL.
Its capable of auto lookup in the registry for the transaction policy
so no need to wire it.
For instance in this Spring XML
<route>
<from uri="direct:okay"/>
<transacted/>
<setBody>
<constant>Tiger in Action</constant>
</setBody>
<bean ref="bookService"/>
<setBody>
<constant>Elephant in Action</constant>
</setBody>
<bean ref="bookService"/>
</route>
The <transacted/> will look for beans of type
org.apache.camel.spi.TransactedPolicy that you define in the XML like
this
<!-- policy for required transaction used in our Camel routes -->
<bean id="PROPAGATION_REQUIRED"
class="org.apache.camel.spring.spi.SpringTransactionPolicy">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="txManager"/>
</bean>
And on top of that you dont have to setup the transacted error
handler, eg notice we dont have any errorHandlerRef in the route XML
at all.
So what you only *must* do for defining a route as transacted is to
add the *transacted* DSL keyword.
Next step in improvement would be to handle that the
PROPAGATION_REQUIRED bean is optional, so Camel can lookup and find
the PlatformManager and default to required itself. Just like the JMS
component can do with transacted=true URI option.
