Transaction in not marked as RollbackOnly when callback method throws RuntimeException -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-373 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-373 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: EntityManager Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Jaroslaw Lewandowski When RuntimeException is thrown in methods annotated by @PrePersist or @PreUpdate during merge operation the transaction is not marked as rollback only. Both Hibernate Documentation (A: http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/entitymanager/reference/en/html_single/) and EJB3 Persistence specifcation (B) state that transaction should be marked as rollback only in this case: A: "A callback method can raise a RuntimeException. The current transaction, if any, must be rolled back." B: "Lifecycle callback methods may throw runtime exceptions. A runtime exception thrown by a callback method that executes within a transaction causes that transaction to be rolled back." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
