[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - flush() occurs though the transaction is rollbacked?!

is it normal or bug, that  flush() always occurs, even if the transaction rollbacks?

i have seam-managed hibernate session configured according to seam documentation http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.GA/reference/en/html/persistence.html#d0e5849

        <property name="transaction.flush_before_completion">true</property>
  |         <property name="connection.release_mode">after_statement</property>
  |         <property name="transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup</property>
  |         <property name="transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory</property>
  | 

and a method 
    @Begin
  |     @End
  |     public void save(Person person){
  |         currentSession.save(person);
  |         currentSession.createSQLQuery("{call initializePerson(:person_id)}")
  |                         .setLong("person_id", person.getId())
  |                         .executeUpdate();
  |         currentSession.refresh(person);
  |         if (!person.isInitialized()) throw new RuntimeException("Failed to initialize person");
  |     }
  | 

as a result of the method's execution:

if person is uninitialized , it will be a rollbacked transaction due to the RuntimeException. (Because it is a "System Exception" and they always  cause a transaction rollback http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.GA/reference/en/html/events.html#d0e4391)

As expected the stored procedure "initializePerson" will be rollbacked.
But an insert of the method "currentSession.save(person)" will be executed. Because the property transaction.flush_before_completion's value is true. 

anonymous wrote : if hibernate.transaction.flush_before_completion is enabled, the session will be automatically flushed during the before completion phase of the transaction.(http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/en/html/session-configuration.html)

Thus we have 'partial' committed transaction. Imho, it isn't normal behaviour, when an exception occurs.

Any suggestions to cause full rollbacking ?

(without disabling "flush_before_completion" property or enabling FlushModeType.MANUAL, that seems the same))anonymous wrote :
