Understanding Spring Transaction management with Checked and Unchecked exceptions

February 17, 2009 by Franklin

I have been using Spring TX Management for quite sometime until I recently came upon an article describing the common pitfalls that occur in Transaction Strategies. Although many cases were covered, I would like to describe the common one that is seen in most code. I am going to explain it with the help of a sample example. In the example we shall put together a sample Service which in turn calls a DAO. The service will call two methods from the DAO. It is only a trivial Service-DAO example. First the DAO class : DAOStep.java
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 package com.tx.app.dao; import java.sql.Types; import java.util.Calendar; import org.springframework.jdbc.core.namedparam.NamedParameterJdbcDaoSupport; import org.springframework.jdbc.core.support.JdbcDaoSupport; public class DAOStep extends IDAOStep { NamedParameterJdbcDaoSupport implements

public void updateData(int val1 , int val2) { final String insertIntoTest = "UPDATE TEST SET VAL1= ? where VAL2=

getJdbcTemplate().update(insertIntoTest, new Object[]{ val1, val2 }, new int[]{ Types.INTEGER, Types.INTEGER, }); }

35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 ,?) "; final String insertIntoTest = "insert into TEST(VAL1,VAL2) values(?

getJdbcTemplate().update(insertIntoTest, new Object[]{ val1, val2 }, new int[]{ Types.INTEGER, Types.INTEGER, }); }

Next the Service class : ServiceStep.java

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 package com.tx.app.service; import com.tx.app.dao.IDAOStep; import com.tx.app.exception.MyCheckedException; import com.tx.app.exception.MyRuntimeException; public class ServiceStep { private IDAOStep daoStep; public void doStepRuntimeException() { daoStep.insertData(2, 2); daoStep.updateData(-2, 2); throw new MyRuntimeException();

} public void doStepCheckedException() throws MyCheckedException { daoStep.insertData(2, 2); daoStep.updateData(-2, 2); throw new MyCheckedException();

} public IDAOStep getDaoStep() { return daoStep; } public void setDaoStep(IDAOStep daoStep) { this.daoStep = daoStep; }

As you can see the service throws two exceptions, one a checked exception(MyCheckedException) and second a runtime exception (MyRuntimeException). Next the Runtime Exception class : MyRuntimeException.java
1 2 3 4 5 6 package com.tx.app.exception; public class MyRuntimeException extends RuntimeException { }

Next the Checked Exception class: MyCheckedException.java

1 2 3 4 package com.tx.app.exception; public class MyCheckedException extends Exception {

And the main class to bootstrap the application

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) throws MyCheckedException { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"context.xml"}); ServiceStep service = (ServiceStep)context.getBean("serviceStepTX"); /*Method One*/ service.doStepRuntimeException(); /*Method Two*/ service.doStepCheckedException();

Finally the Spring XML context file : context.xml

The Table that needs to be there in some database is TEST. I am using MySQL database and following is the script used to create the TEST table CREATE TABLE TEST (VAL1 INT, VAL2 INT) engine=innodb Question As you can see the Transaction attribute for the doStepRuntimeException and doStepCheckedException are both PROPAGATION_REQUIRED. What do you think would be the outcome when the Main class is executed once with Method 1 and once with Method 2? Would the records be inserted as well as updated in the database? Explanation The answer is follows. Method 1) The whole transaction is rolled back as RuntimeException is thrown and the current transaction is Rolled back Method 2) The whole transaction is committed as a checked exception (Exception) is thrown and the current transaction is Commited. The correct way to rollback both the transactions would be to alter the XML file as follows
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 <bean id="serviceStepTX" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean" <property name="transactionManager" ref="txManager"/> <property name="target" ref="serviceStep"/> <property name="proxyTargetClass" value="true"/> <property name="transactionAttributes"> <props> <prop key="doStepRuntimeException*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,MyRuntimeException</prop> <prop key="doStepCheckedException*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,MyCheckedException</prop> </props> </property> </bean>

However, if you want to rollback all checked exceptions you can use -Exception instead of -MyCheckedException. The default behaviour is for Unchecked exception the current transaction is rolled back and for Checked exception the current transaction is commited.

Please share the spring configuration file so I can help. Probably a typo.
