Re: ACIDity of Prevayler 2.6

Hi Karl,

The fact that there can be bugs in application code doesn't make
Prevayler less atomic. The transaction filter (RoyalFoodTaster) was
only trying to help people mitigate a specific class of bugs: those
that throw runtime exceptions.

Acidity means that, in the event of a system crash and recovery, all
effects of a transaction will be seen (including bugs) or none.
