[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBTM-575) javax.transaction.RollbackException root cause

[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBTM-575?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12523103#action_12523103 ] 

Steve Ebersole commented on JBTM-575:
-------------------------------------

I have to jump in here.  Hibernate has not "messed" anything up.  Yes I am biased ;)

My understanding of setRollbackOnly (and the understanding of many many others) is that is merely provides a fail-safe to ensure the transaction is not allowed to commit.  

This is a pretty standard JTA usage pattern in case of error.  In fact one now even mandated by JPA2.

If y'all deem that you'd prefer to not have JBTM work with any JPA2 provider then that is obviously your call.  But I'd humbly suggest that you should be able to back this up with relevant sections from the JTA specification.  Either JPA is violating the JTA spec or JBTM needs to support this IMHO.

> In JBoss 4.2.3.GA and previous releases, when a transaction rolled back the RollbackException included the root cause of the exception. This enhancement was implemented in response to JBAS-4238 and JBTM-66.
> However, in JBoss 5.1.0.GA this enhancement has been lost in some scenarios. This does not affect manual debugging (the root cause is still logged higher up in the logs), but makes it difficult for application code that relies on being able to unwrap the RollbackException to determine its root cause and therefore take appropriate action.
