+<h1 id="migrating-from-declarative-transactions">Migrating from declarative
transactions<a class="headerlink"
href="#migrating-from-declarative-transactions" title="Permanent
link">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Many popular application containers, such as Spring or Java EE, offer
declarative transaction management.
+Specifically, the container offers a model where transaction boundaries are
defined using metadata, usually as
+annotations on public methods.</p>
+<h2 id="the-basics">The Basics<a class="headerlink" href="#the-basics"
title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
+<p>A typical transactional method in a declarative model might look like
this:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="p">@</span><span
class="n">Transactional</span>
+<span class="n">public</span> <span class="n">Long</span> <span
class="n">getCustomerId</span><span class="p">(</span><span
class="n">String</span> <span class="n">email</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="o">//</span> <span class="n">Some</span> <span
class="n">business</span> <span class="n">logic</span> <span
class="n">in</span> <span class="n">here</span><span class="p">...</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Using Transaction control the same thing would look like:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">public</span> <span
class="n">Long</span> <span class="n">getCustomerId</span><span
class="p">(</span><span class="n">String</span> <span
class="n">email</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="n">txControl</span><span class="p">.</span><span
class="n">required</span><span class="p">(()</span> <span
class="o">-></span> <span class="p">{</span>
+ <span class="o">//</span> <span class="n">Some</span> <span
class="n">business</span> <span class="n">logic</span> <span
class="n">in</span> <span class="n">here</span><span class="p">...</span>
+ <span class="p">});</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>The main change is that the transactions have moved from being metadata
defined, and started by the container,
+to being code defined and started by the Transaction Control service. This
gives several significant advantages.</p>
+<h2 id="the-scoping-problem">The Scoping Problem<a class="headerlink"
href="#the-scoping-problem" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
+<p>When using method-level metadata to define transaction boundaries it is not
possible to manage transactions
+on a finer level. This makes it difficult to suspend or nest transactions
unless you create a new method to hold
+the extra logic.</p>
+<h3 id="a-simple-example">A Simple Example<a class="headerlink"
href="#a-simple-example" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
+<p>If we want to write an audit message it usually needs to occur in a new
transaction, as typically it should persist
+even if the overall action fails. In a declarative model this requires a
separate method with a new boundary,
+even if the audit function is a private implementation detail of the
Object.</p>

href="#the-proxy-problem" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The Proxy problem is a rather insidious issue that affects declarative
transactions, and it is a result of how they
+are implemented. If bytecode weaving is used to directly add transactional
behaviour to an object then it will
+always work the same way. Most solutions, however, do not use bytecode
weaving, but instead use a proxy
+pattern. When a call is made on the proxy the proxy will perform any necessary
transaction management
+before and after delegating the call to the real object. This works well,
except if the object makes any internal
+method calls.</p>
+<p>In the general case proxying is unsafe because you cannot rely on a
method's metadata to decide what
+transaction state will exist when it is called!</p>

weaving is used then the

seem innocuous, but it

will start and stop!</p>

+<p>Now lets imagine that a call comes in to the <code>search</code> method of
this class from some client.</p>

+<ol>
+<li>The container proxy for the data manager halts any ongoing transaction due
to the
+<code>NOT_SUPPORTED</code> metadata, entering an undefined scope.</li>
+<li>The code calls search on the persistenceDataManager</li>
+<li>The container proxy for the persistence data manager does not start or
stop a transaction due to the
+<code>SUPPORTS</code> scope.</li>
+<li>The code calls <code>find</code> on the persistenceDataManager, but
without touching the proxy.</li>
+<li>The code accesses the entity outside a transaction</li>
+<li>The code returns the entity, and no transaction change is necessary</li>
+<li>The code calls loadLinkedTablesTop, which calls loadLinkedTables. No proxy
is touched therefore no
+transaction is started.</li>
+<li>The Tables are populated with data from the entity. Lazy loading is
possible as the entity is still attached.</li>

+<h5 id="woven">Woven<a class="headerlink" href="#woven" title="Permanent

+<li>The weaving code for the data manager halts any ongoing transaction due to
the

+<li>The weaving code for the persistence data manager does not start or stop a
transaction due to the

+<li>The code calls <code>find</code> on the persistenceDataManager, at this
point the weaving code starts
+a transaction.</li>
+<li>The code accesses the entity inside the transaction</li>
+<li>The code returns the entity, and the transaction completes. This detaches
the entity and prevents lazy loading.</li>
+<li>The code calls loadLinkedTablesTop, which calls loadLinkedTables. The
weaving code starts a new
+transaction.</li>
+<li>The Code fails as the entity is not able to access its lazily loaded
data.</li>

+<p>Ensuring consistency is vital when writing code that uses transactions. It
is therefore usually a good idea to
+ensure that any reused code is captured in a private method, and that it
asserts the correct transaction state
+before it begins.</p>
