- So sadly just auto closing a TX using try-resource from Java7 is a bad idea.
- Doing that leads to problems when an exception is thrown, then the close is called (duh) but this leads to commit being called.
- Since the Java language does not offer a decent way to detect if the close is being called in the context of an exception i was forced to add a tx.commitOnClose() and tx.rollbackOnClose().
- The default is that when a TX is opened, then the close strategy is rollback; the API user must call tx.commitOnClose() before the TX is closed by the braces, or as late as possible, to make sure that if an exception is thrown the transaction is rolled back, and not committed.
- The API was also extended with a tx.fail(msg):StrolchTransactionException so that if the implementor detects an unrecoverable error, one can write: throw tx.fail(“my reason”);
This was sadly an unavoidable late 1.0.0 change
When a TX is closed, all locked objects are unlocked. The but originated from multiple commands being performed for the same object, thus the object was locked multiple times i.e. the lock counter was >1. Now added a releaseLock() method which is called by the TX when the TX is closed so that the lock counter is really 0 and the lock is released.
- Added tests for this situation
- documented the LockHandler
- Now we can use Version to see if current version is greater than
- Fixed bug where version checking didn't check for app
- TODO is still open to handle migration with intermediary steps
