Package org.hibernate.transaction

Interface TransactionFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

CMTTransactionFactory, JDBCTransactionFactory, JTATransactionFactory

public interface TransactionFactory

Contract for generating Hibernate Transaction instances.

The concrete implementation to be used is specified by the Environment.TRANSACTION_STRATEGY configuration setting.

Implementors must be threadsafe and should declare a public default constructor.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	TransactionFactory.Context	Callback mechanism; a context is always a Session in the Hibernate usage.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	areCallbacksLocalToHibernateTransactions()	Are all transaction callbacks local to Hibernate Transactions? Or can the callbacks originate from some other source (e.g.
void	configure(Properties props)	Configure from the given properties.
Transaction	createTransaction(JDBCContext jdbcContext, TransactionFactory.Context context)	Begin a transaction and return the associated Transaction instance.
ConnectionReleaseMode	getDefaultReleaseMode()	Get the default connection release mode.
boolean	isTransactionInProgress(JDBCContext jdbcContext, TransactionFactory.Context transactionContext, Transaction transaction)	Determine whether an underlying transaction is in progress.
boolean	isTransactionManagerRequired()	Do we require access to the JTA TransactionManager for this strategy?

Method Details

createTransaction

Transaction createTransaction(JDBCContext jdbcContext,
 TransactionFactory.Context context)
                       throws HibernateException

Begin a transaction and return the associated Transaction instance.

Parameters:

jdbcContext - The jdbc context to which the transaction belongs

context - The contract regarding the context in which this transaction will operate.

Returns:

Transaction

Throws:

HibernateException - Indicates a problem generating a transaction instance

configure

void configure(Properties props)
        throws HibernateException

Configure from the given properties.

Parameters:

props - The configuration properties.

Throws:

HibernateException - Indicates a problem configuring this factory.

getDefaultReleaseMode

ConnectionReleaseMode getDefaultReleaseMode()

Get the default connection release mode.

Returns:

The default release mode associated with this strategy

isTransactionManagerRequired

boolean isTransactionManagerRequired()

Do we require access to the JTA TransactionManager for this strategy?

Returns:

True if this strategy requires access to the JTA TransactionManager; false otherwise.

areCallbacksLocalToHibernateTransactions

boolean areCallbacksLocalToHibernateTransactions()

Are all transaction callbacks local to Hibernate Transactions? Or can the callbacks originate from some other source (e.g. a JTA Synchronization).

Returns:

true if callbacks only ever originate from the Hibernate Transaction; false otherwise.

isTransactionInProgress

boolean isTransactionInProgress(JDBCContext jdbcContext,
 TransactionFactory.Context transactionContext,
 Transaction transaction)

Determine whether an underlying transaction is in progress.

Mainly this is used in determining whether to register a synchronization as well as whether or not to circumvent auto flushing outside transactions.

Parameters:

jdbcContext - The JDBC context

transactionContext - The transaction context

transaction - The Hibernate transaction

Returns:

true if an underlying transaction is know to be in effect.
