Hi Is there any specific reason for not removing any successful action from the action list. In Method of class org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue private void executeActions(List list) throws HibernateException { int size = list.size(); for ( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) { execute( (Executable) list.get(i) ); } list.clear(); session.getBatcher().executeBatch(); } Why is list being cleared in one go rather then removing after every action. something like this private void executeActions(List list) throws HibernateException { for(Iterator actionIter = list.iterator();actionIter.hasNext();){ execute( (Executable) actionIter .next()); actionIter.remove(); } session.getBatcher().executeBatch(); } Reasons i am facing issues due to this is following: For Example in ActionQueue i have three EntityUpdateAction and my Entity is versioned and my 3rd EntityUpdateAction Fails and say i can recover from this failure programmatically and i try to flush again. This time even my first Action will fail as it would have already updated Version No. And even theoretically why will i want to retry a Successful Action. I think after action is successfully executed it should be removed from the list. Regards Pavitar -- Pavitar Singh Blog: http://blog.webscale.co.in
