[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - @ApplicationException(rollback=false) does roll back @PreUpd

I have encountered a very unfortunate and strange difference in the way JBoss application server 4.2.2 treats exceptions raised from inside EJB callback methods marked with @PrePersist and @PreUpdate. My exception is a RuntimeException, and is marked for rollback=false. I use it to report back validation errors. The validation is triggered in the @PrePersist and @PreUpdate callback methods. However, while this behaves very nicely for the persist method, the update does not appear to take the @ApplicationException annotation into account. So the transaction is rolled back and my exception is wrapped inside a javax.persistence.PersistenceException and then inside a javax.transaction.RollbackException, blowing up my whole concept. I have also tried configuring the ApplicationException in the ejb-jar.xml, but the result was identical. Here's the exception class: @ApplicationException(rollback=false) | public class ValidationExceptionRuntimeWrapper extends RuntimeException | { | private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; | | private ValidationException validationException; | | | public ValidationExceptionRuntimeWrapper(ValidationException validationException) | { | this.validationException = validationException; | } | | public ValidationException getValidationException() | { | return validationException; | } | | public void setValidationException(ValidationException validationException) | { | this.validationException = validationException; | } | | } | Has anyone seen this before or knows how to explain this? I would be so grateful for any help!! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118553#...
