As mentioned before and for further clarification, the container runtime(websphere/weblogic/sunone/some other) manages the rollbacks of transactions automatically without the need of any additional code iff(if and only if) the exception raised is a "SYSTEM" run-time exception. I the exception raised is due to application logic/user defined then you need to manage the rollback programmatically using setRollBackOnly.

This scenario is usually for jsp->>EJB or jsp-->delegate-EJB. Where callers are not originators of the transaction. But the original question is,If I am correct is that why you have to call setRollback(sometimes) even if you are throwing EJBException which is nothing but child of RuntimeException. This scenario is like ejb1-->ejb2(this calls setRollbackonly after getting some exception). So what are the options for ejb1. Ejb1 can also be originator of Transaction. /Ashwani > -----Original Message----- > From: Amit Kharadkar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 2:44 PM > To: Kalra, Ashwani; EJB-INTEREST@JAVA.SUN.COM > Subject: RE: EJBException and setRollBackOnly > > > Hi Ashwani, > If a runtime exception like a null pointer exception or a > array index out of > bounds exception is raised then the transaction is automatically for > rollback If a user-defined exception is raised then u will have to set > the transaction for rollback as per the desired condition.
