Class TransactionAspectSupport

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAspectSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, BeanFactoryAware, InitializingBean

Direct Known Subclasses:

TransactionInterceptor

public abstract class TransactionAspectSupport
extends Object
implements BeanFactoryAware, InitializingBean

Base class for transactional aspects, such as the TransactionInterceptor or an AspectJ aspect.

This enables the underlying Spring transaction infrastructure to be used easily to implement an aspect for any aspect system.

Subclasses are responsible for calling methods in this class in the correct order.

If no transaction name has been specified in the TransactionAttribute, the exposed name will be the fully-qualified class name + "." + method name (by default).

Uses the Strategy design pattern. A PlatformTransactionManager implementation will perform the actual transaction management, and a TransactionAttributeSource is used for determining transaction definitions.

A transaction aspect is serializable if its PlatformTransactionManager and TransactionAttributeSource are serializable.

1.1

Method Detail

currentTransactionInfo

protected static TransactionAspectSupport.TransactionInfo currentTransactionInfo()
                                                                          throws NoTransactionException

Subclasses can use this to return the current TransactionInfo. Only subclasses that cannot handle all operations in one method, such as an AspectJ aspect involving distinct before and after advice, need to use this mechanism to get at the current TransactionInfo. An around advice such as an AOP Alliance MethodInterceptor can hold a reference to the TransactionInfo throughout the aspect method.

A TransactionInfo will be returned even if no transaction was created. The TransactionInfo.hasTransaction() method can be used to query this.

To find out about specific transaction characteristics, consider using TransactionSynchronizationManager's isSynchronizationActive() and/or isActualTransactionActive() methods.

Returns:

TransactionInfo bound to this thread, or null if none

Throws:

NoTransactionException

See Also:

TransactionAspectSupport.TransactionInfo.hasTransaction(), TransactionSynchronizationManager.isSynchronizationActive(), TransactionSynchronizationManager.isActualTransactionActive()

currentTransactionStatus

public static TransactionStatus currentTransactionStatus()
                                                  throws NoTransactionException

Return the transaction status of the current method invocation. Mainly intended for code that wants to set the current transaction rollback-only but not throw an application exception.

Throws:

NoTransactionException - if the transaction info cannot be found, because the method was invoked outside an AOP invocation context

setTransactionManagerBeanName

public void setTransactionManagerBeanName(String transactionManagerBeanName)

Specify the name of the default transaction manager bean.

getTransactionManagerBeanName

protected final String getTransactionManagerBeanName()

Return the name of the default transaction manager bean.

setTransactionManager

public void setTransactionManager(PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager)

Specify the target transaction manager.

getTransactionManager

public PlatformTransactionManager getTransactionManager()

Return the transaction manager, if specified.

setTransactionAttributes

public void setTransactionAttributes(Properties transactionAttributes)

Set properties with method names as keys and transaction attribute descriptors (parsed via TransactionAttributeEditor) as values: e.g. key = "myMethod", value = "PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly".

Note: Method names are always applied to the target class, no matter if defined in an interface or the class itself.

Internally, a NameMatchTransactionAttributeSource will be created from the given properties.

See Also:

setTransactionAttributeSource(org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAttributeSource), TransactionAttributeEditor, NameMatchTransactionAttributeSource

setTransactionAttributeSources

public void setTransactionAttributeSources(TransactionAttributeSource[] transactionAttributeSources)

Set multiple transaction attribute sources which are used to find transaction attributes. Will build a CompositeTransactionAttributeSource for the given sources.

See Also:

CompositeTransactionAttributeSource, MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource, NameMatchTransactionAttributeSource, AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

setTransactionAttributeSource

public void setTransactionAttributeSource(TransactionAttributeSource transactionAttributeSource)

Set the transaction attribute source which is used to find transaction attributes. If specifying a String property value, a PropertyEditor will create a MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource from the value.

See Also:

TransactionAttributeSourceEditor, MethodMapTransactionAttributeSource, NameMatchTransactionAttributeSource, AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

getTransactionAttributeSource

public TransactionAttributeSource getTransactionAttributeSource()

Return the transaction attribute source.

setBeanFactory

public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
