Hello, because the thread is a bit old a small reminder what it was about: Envers used TX Synchronizations to write the audit data to a database, before the transaction completed. However, exceptions thrown during a synchronization are "eaten" (JDBCTransaction:274). The solution then was to use, instead of a Synchronization, a BeforeTransactionCompletionProcess.
This, however, as it turns out, causes big problems in a JTA environment (with resource-local txs all works fine): audit records are sometimes not written. This is because the before tx completion process is called before tx synchronizations, and in JTA the auto-flush at the end of a session is done using a TX synchronization (AbstractEntityManagerImpl:1020). And it doesn't look like exceptions are eaten when thrown from a synchronization in JTA - otherwise any exception that occurred during a flush would go unnoticed (and I know from practice this doesn't happen ;) ). So isn't this inconsistent? Shouldn't the exceptions in JDBCTransaction be rethrown as well? For now a fix is to register both a BTCP and a TX Sync to write the audit records, but I'd say it's rather a temporary patch :) On Mar 31, 2010, at 1:00 PM, Adam Warski wrote: > >> In an ideal world, a Synchronization should swallow exceptions (or do >> whatever it wants with it) if the exception should not tamper with the main >> Hibernate execution.
