public class AtomicAction

extends TwoPhaseCoordinator

This is a user-level transaction class, unlike BasicAction. AtomicAction takes care of thread-to-action scoping. This is a "one-shot" object, i.e., once terminated, the instance cannot be re-used for another transaction. An instance of this class is a transaction that can be started and terminated (either committed or rolled back). There are also methods to allow participants (AbstractRecords) to be enlisted with the transaction and to associate/disassociate threads with the transaction.

Since:

JTS 1.0.

Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

AtomicAction

public AtomicAction()

Create a new transaction. If there is already a transaction associated with the thread then this new transaction will be automatically nested. The transaction is *not* running at this point. No timeout is associated with this transaction, i.e., it will not be automatically rolled back by the system.

AtomicAction

public AtomicAction(Uid objUid)

AtomicAction constructor with a Uid. This constructor is for recreating an AtomicAction, typically during crash recovery.

AtomicAction

protected AtomicAction(int at)

Create a new transaction of the specified type.

Method Detail

finalize

public void finalize()

AtomicAction destructor. Under normal circumstances we do very little. However there exists the possibility that this action is being deleted while still running (user forgot to commit/abort) - in which case we do an abort for him and mark all our parents as unable to commit. Additionally due to scoping we may not be the current action - but in that case the current action must be one of our nested actions so by applying abort to it we should end up at ourselves!

Overrides:

finalize in class BasicAction

begin

public int begin()

Start the transaction running. If the transaction is already running or has terminated, then an error code will be returned. No timeout is associated with the transaction.

Returns:

ActionStatus indicating outcome.

begin

public int begin(int timeout)

Start the transaction running. If the transaction is already running or has terminated, then an error code will be returned.

Returns:

ActionStatus indicating outcome.

commit

public int commit()

Commit the transaction, and have heuristic reporting. Heuristic reporting via the return code is enabled.

Returns:

ActionStatus indicating outcome.

commit

public int commit(boolean report_heuristics)

Commit the transaction. The report_heuristics parameter can be used to determine whether or not heuristic outcomes are reported. If the transaction has already terminated, or has not begun, then an appropriate error code will be returned.

Returns:

ActionStatus indicating outcome.

abort

public int abort()

Abort (rollback) the transaction. If the transaction has already terminated, or has not been begun, then an appropriate error code will be returned.

Returns:

ActionStatus indicating outcome.

getTimeout

public final int getTimeout()

type

public java.lang.String type()

The type of the class is used to locate the state of the transaction log in the object store. Overloads BasicAction.type()

Overrides:

type in class TwoPhaseCoordinator

Returns:

a string representation of the hierarchy of the class for storing logs in the transaction object store.

addThread

public boolean addThread()

Register the current thread with the transaction. This operation is not affected by the state of the transaction.

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

addThread

public boolean addThread(java.lang.Thread t)

Register the specified thread with the transaction. This operation is not affected by the state of the transaction.

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

removeThread

public boolean removeThread()

Unregister the current thread from the transaction. This operation is not affected by the state of the transaction.

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

removeThread

public boolean removeThread(java.lang.Thread t)

Unregister the specified thread from the transaction. This operation is not affected by the state of the transaction.

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise.

suspend

public static final AtomicAction suspend()

Suspend all transaction association from the invoking thread. When this operation returns, the thread will be associated with no transactions. If the current transaction is not an AtomicAction then this method will not suspend.

Returns:

a handle on the current AtomicAction (if any) so that the thread can later resume association if required. message com.arjuna.ats.atomicaction_1 Attempt to suspend a non-AtomicAction transaction. Type is {0}

resume

public static final boolean resume(AtomicAction act)

Resume transaction association on the current thread. If the specified transaction is null, then this is the same as doing a suspend. If the current thread is associated with transactions then those associations will be lost.

Returns:

true if association is successful, false otherwise.

checkForCurrent

protected boolean checkForCurrent()

By default the BasicAction class only allows the termination of a transaction if it's the one currently associated with the thread. We override this here.

Overrides:

checkForCurrent in class BasicAction

Returns:

true to indicate that this transaction can only be terminated by the right thread.
