Alexander Klimetschek created SLING-6932: --------------------------------------------
Summary: [javadoc] Document transient nature of ResourceResolver operations Key: SLING-6932 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6932 Project: Sling Issue Type: Improvement Components: API Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek All ResourceResolver resource operations (create, delete, move, copy) are transient, one always has to call commit() to save the transaction. This isn't documented in the current [ResourceResolver javadoc|https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/96c4134f770c83a665170ec9fad1f8d49832e650/bundles/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceResolver.java]. A general paragraph in the class level javadoc on the overall transactional behavior, plus a sentence on each modifying operation such as "It is necessary to call commit() to persist these changes." would help. Furthermore, with changes across multiple resource providers (such as a move), these are multiple transactions, but there is no two phase commit or the like - the first failure will stop committing transactions, and already committed transactions are not rolled back. (Based on reading [this code|https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/96c4134f770c83a665170ec9fad1f8d49832e650/bundles/resourceresolver/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/resourceresolver/impl/helper/ResourceResolverControl.java#L419-L423]). Should be clarified as well. Discussed here: http://sling.markmail.org/thread/vrnjgqgf3djvwscv -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
