Craig L Russell commented on JDO-735: ------------------------------------- The specification is silent on the subject of PM.close() when a transaction is active. I think we need to add this behavior in light of auto-close. I'd think that if a transaction is active, close should roll back the transaction and complete normally. Consider this use-case: // this will either update the objects or throw an optimistic exception try (PersistenceManger pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager()) { pm.currentTransaction().begin(); // optimistic // do some updates to some objects pm.currentTransaction().commit(); } What we want to allow the user to do is to avoid all the work to figure out how to clean up the persistence manager in case of an error. > Make PersistenceManager and Query support AutoCloseable (JDK1.7+) > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-735 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-735 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: api, specification, tck > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > Fix For: JDO 3.2 > > > So then it can be used with JDK1.7+ try-with-resources, as per > http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/tryResourceClose.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
