We do basically the same thing with a quick check before the BeginTransaction call to see if a transaction is already open or not. In the same respect, if one was open before the method call then the method doesn't commit either thus allowing the original method call to control the transaction lifecycle.
This allows several method calls to effectively be encapsulated in the same transaction while still using iBatis semantics. -----Original Message----- From: Juan Pablo Araya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Managing Transactions Hope I have understood your question. We use for transactions (specially for rollback the entire insertion/updates in case of error) the following ISqlMapper sqlMapper = Mapper.Instance(); sqlMapper.BeginTransaction(); try { ... our inserts/updates/deletes directly goes here. For example, if the class User has his own method User.Save() that uses iBatis, just copy & paste the insert statement here: sqlMapper.Insert("InsertUser", userObject); in replace of (Class User) sqlMapper.Insert("InsertUser", this); ... another insertions ... if(some logical business error) throw new Exception("Error in some part"); // If everithing OK: sqlMapper.CommitTransaction(true); } catch (Exception ex) { sqlMapper.RollBackTransaction(true); throw ex } 2008/6/30, Vincent Apesa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Sal, > In our application we wrap calls the repository using the System.Transactions built into .Net 2.0 in the Service layer.

I interact with the repository classes in my service layer, and am wondering if there is anything special I need to do to managing transactions. Meaning, in my service layer classes, can I just wrap calls to repository methods inside a TransactionScope? Or, is there a another suggested pattern for doing this? I will need to have multiple calls to different repository methods in one transaction. > > Thanks, > Sal > > ________________________________ The other season of giving begins 6/24/08.
