Hi, I am using SEAM Managed EntityManager with FushMode set to Manual for a JTA datasource. When I flush the EntityManager for some invalid update, I get a database exception. I catch this exception, the entity I am updating is still attached and I try to correct the invalid data and then try to reflush the update. However I can't persist the change even though this time it is valid. I get a javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction is in progress exception. I am wondering is there any way I can recover from transaction failure? My code is below. | @Name("manager") | @Scope(CONVERSATION) | public void SeamPOJO { | @In | private EntityManager em; | | @End | public String commit () { | // Create entity | Person person = new Person(); | // set invalid data | person.setName("namethatistoolong"); | em.persist(person); | try { | em.flush(); | } catch (Exception e) { | // data is invalid correct it | person.setName("john"); | em.flush(); | } | } | ~any advice, comments appreciated.
