if a an error occurs in any of these 3 updates below > > update("insertAccount", account); > > update("insertProfile", account); > > update("insertSignon", account); a rollback will occur before the daoManager.commitTransaction(). So isn't it safe to say that these updates a wrapped in the transaction? Also doesn't this constitute a valid insert of Account?
Example: Service Layer: doaManager.startTransaction(); accountDao.insertAccount(account); doaManager.commitTransaction(); .... finally(){doaManager.endTransaction():} Dao Layer: public void insertAccount(Account account) { update("insertAccount", account); update("insertProfile", account); update("insertSignon", account); } -----Original Message----- From: Lieven De Keyzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ibatis-user-java@incubator.apache.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: transactions >From: Clinton Begin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: ibatis-user-java@incubator.apache.org, Brandon Goodin ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: transactions >Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 13:40:04 -0600 > >Those update statements ARE in a transaction.

So, what you mean is: I should make the transaction in my service layer, and inside this transaction call the dao method. But if I change a method in my DAO, to have multiple statements, I would also need to change my Service class, to place the call in a transaction? And how does one specify those automatic transactions? > >Clinton > >On 5/24/05, Brandon Goodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Message was sent to me privately... so i am posting it to the list > > ----- > > But for example, in the JPetStoreExample, in the AccountSqlMapDao, this >is > > a > > method: > > > > public void insertAccount(Account account) { > > update("insertAccount", account); > > update("insertProfile", account); > > update("insertSignon", account); > > } > > > > Aren't those different update statements better off in a transaction? >And > > why no different calls from the Service layer? > > I'm just trying to understand the difference. > > > > >From: Brandon Goodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >Reply-To: Brandon Goodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >To: ibatis-user-java@incubator.apache.org > > >Subject: Re: transactions > > >Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 12:45:59 -0600 > > > > > >It is not neccessary to call transactions on only one statement. > > > > > >Transactions should be handled on the Service layer and make more > > >fine-grained calls to the DAO layer. > > > > > >Brandon > > > > > >On 5/24/05, Lieven De Keyzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > At http://www.reumann.net/struts/ibatisLesson1/step6.do > > > > this is an example in a ibatis/struts tutorial > > > > > > > > public int update(String statementName, Object parameterObject) >throws > > > > DaoException { > > > > int result = 0; > > > > try { > > > > sqlMap.startTransaction(); > > > > result = sqlMap.executeUpdate(statementName, parameterObject); > > > > sqlMap.commitTransaction(); > > > > } catch (SQLException e) { > > > > try { > > > > sqlMap.rollbackTransaction(); > > > > } catch (SQLException ex) { > > > > throw new DaoException(ex.fillInStackTrace()); > > > > } > > > > throw new DaoException(e.fillInStackTrace()); > > > > } > > > > return result; > > > > } > > > > > > > > Is it necessary to have a transaction started for just 1 statement > > > > execution? > > > > > > > > Also, what's the better way?
