[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-664) Acquiring a lock with flags FAIL_SILENTLY should report if the operation succeeded

[Erik Salter (JIRA)]

Erik Salter commented on ISPN-664:
----------------------------------

This seems pretty trivial to add.  What did you mean by your comment -- as in "should the framework allow for this?"  I think it should -- we need to know if the operation succeeded or not, regardless of how the tx context is handled.

> When trying to acquire a lock with the flag FAIL_SILENTLY, it doesn't roll back a transaction, but it also doesn't throw an exception.  Therefore, the caller doesn't know if a lock acquisition succeeded or not.
> The framework should have an operation to try and acquire a lock without rolling back any active transactions.
