Thanks, The only issue that you run into quite often is that you need both composite services as well as more fine grained services and both these kinds of services need to be "transaction aware". So you end of creating "layers on top of the service layer" to delegate and allow for transactions. Not a problem other than the fact not you have a set of methods that do nothing but start and end transactions, just becomes cumbersome I guess.
So essentially if I wanted to do something to the effect, is my only option to re-factor such behavior into a different method?: > ServiceClass1 > public void doSomething() { > try { > daoManager.startTransaction(); > // Write some stuff to a database > daoManager.commitTransaction(); > } catch (Exception e) { > throw e; > } finally { > daoManager.endTransaction(); > } > } > > ServiceClass2 > public void doSomethingElse() { > try { > daoManager.startTransaction(); > ServiceClass1 sc1 = new ServiceClass1(); > sc1.doSomething(); > // Write some stuff to a database > daoManager.commitTransaction(); > } catch (Exception e) { > throw e; > } finally { > daoManager.endTransaction(); > } > } Thanks, -Sudhir From: Clinton Begin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 5:47 PM To: user-java@ibatis.apache.org Subject: Re: Nested transactions?
