public interface

TransactionCallback

org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionCallback<T>
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Callback interface for transactional code. Used with TransactionTemplate's execute method, often as anonymous class within a method implementation.

Typically used to assemble various calls to transaction-unaware data access services into a higher-level service method with transaction demarcation. As an alternative, consider the use of declarative transaction demarcation (e.g. through Spring's Transactional annotation).

Summary

Public Methods
abstract T doInTransaction(TransactionStatus status)
Gets called by execute(TransactionCallback) within a transactional context.

Public Methods

public abstract T doInTransaction (TransactionStatus status)

Gets called by execute(TransactionCallback) within a transactional context. Does not need to care about transactions itself, although it can retrieve and influence the status of the current transaction via the given status object, e.g. setting rollback-only.

Allows for returning a result object created within the transaction, i.e. a domain object or a collection of domain objects. A RuntimeException thrown by the callback is treated as application exception that enforces a rollback. An exception gets propagated to the caller of the template.

Parameters
status associated transaction status
Returns
  • a result object, or null
