Re: Keel transaction support

Tim:

Keel won't do transaction handling by default, but with a slight change to your calls you can enable it:

Before you access the persistent from your factory, do this:

Transaction trx = pf.begin();

then do your add calls as normal, checking for any errors - something like this

try {
	Persistent userPersistent = (Persistent) pf.create("xconfName.tableName");
	userPersistent.setField(.....

	userPersistent.add();

	....

	userPersistent.add();
	...
	
	/* if we get here, all is well... */
	trx.commit();
} catch (PersistenceException pe) {
	try {
		trx.rollback();
	} catch (PersistenceException pe2) {
		... report a problem rolling back...
	}
	... report the error, say that we've rolled back...
}

Also, you might want to use just the Persistent interface, rather than casting all the way to DefaultPersistent. Your code will be a bit more portable that way, just in case you ever want to switch to a different persistence implementation.

HTH!
