Hello, consider the following code in an entity "save" method:
em.getTransaction().begin(); try { // get a hold of JDBC connection so we can join transaction OpenJPAEntityManager emo = (OpenJPAEntityManager) em; Connection connection = (Connection) emo.getConnection(); // ... do JDBC insert connection.executeUpdate(...); em.merge(this); em.getTransaction().commit(); } catch (...) { } The idea is to start a transaction on the EM, perform an operation in JDBC, then commit the EM transaction. When the commit fails the JDBC operation is successful. I expected the rollback of the transaction to rollback the operation on the JDBC connection, too. Am I doing this right? How can I perform a JDBC operation in a JPA transaction and have it rolled back upon failure of commit? Thanks. -- Daryl Stultz _____________________________________ 6 Degrees Software and Consulting, Inc. http://www.6degrees.com http://www.opentempo.com mailto:daryl.stu...@opentempo.com
