    void
    join(long id, TransactionParticipant part, long crashCount)
    Join a transaction that is managed by this transaction manager.
    boolean
    returns true if this mgr which requires that the txn participants join into the txn in contrary to a mgr which the participants are known prior to txn propagation
  • Method Details

    • create

      Begin a new top-level transaction.
      Parameters:
      lease - the requested lease time for the transaction
      Returns:
      the transaction ID and the lease granted
      Throws:
      LeaseDeniedException - if this manager is unwilling to grant the requested lease time
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
    • needParticipantsJoin

      boolean needParticipantsJoin() throws RemoteException
      returns true if this mgr which requires that the txn participants join into the txn in contrary to a mgr which the participants are known prior to txn propagation
      Returns:
      true if its a mgr which requires the txn participants to join
      Throws:
      RemoteException
    • join

      Join a transaction that is managed by this transaction manager. The crashCount marks the state of the storage used by the participant for transactions. If the participant attempts to join a transaction more than once, the crash counts must be the same. Each system crash or other event that destroys the state of the participant's unprepared transaction storage must cause the crash count to increase by at least one.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      part - the participant joining the transaction
      crashCount - the participant's current crash count
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      CannotJoinException - if the transaction is known to the manager but is no longer active.
      CrashCountException - if the crash count provided for the participant differs from the crash count in a previous invocation of the same pairing of participant and transaction
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error

    • getState

      int getState(long id) throws UnknownTransactionException, RemoteException
      Returns the current state of the given transaction. The returned state can be any of the TransactionConstants values.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      Returns:
      an int representing the state of the transaction
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
      See Also:
    • commit

      Commit the transaction. Commit asks the transaction manager to execute the voting process with the participants. Returns if the transaction successfully reaches either the NOTCHANGED or the COMMITTED state, without waiting for the transaction manager to notify all participants of the decision. If the transaction must be aborted (because one or more participants are unable to prepare), CannotCommitException is thrown without waiting for the transaction manager to notify all participants of the decision.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      CannotCommitException - if the transaction is being or already has been aborted
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
    • commit

      Commit the transaction, waiting for participants to be notified of the decision. Commit asks the transaction manager to execute the voting process with the participants. Returns if the transaction successfully reaches either the NOTCHANGED or the COMMITTED state, and the transaction manager has notified all participants of the decision, before the specified timeout expires. If the transaction must be aborted (because one or more participants are unable to prepare), CannotCommitException is thrown if the transaction manager is able to notify all participants of the decision before the specified timeout expires. If the transaction manager reaches a decision, but is unable to notify all participants of that decision before the specified timeout expires, then TimeoutExpiredException is thrown. If the specified timeout expires before the transaction manager reaches a decision, TimeoutExpiredException is not thrown until the manager reaches a decision.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      waitFor - timeout to wait, from the start of the call until all participants have been notified of the transaction manager's decision
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      CannotCommitException - if the transaction is being or already has been aborted
      TimeoutExpiredException - if the transaction manager reaches a decision, but is unable to notify all participants of that decision before the specified timeout expires
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
    • abort

      Abort the transaction. This can be called at any time by any object holding a reference to the transaction. Abort asks the transaction manager to abort the transaction and to notify each participant of the decision, resulting in them rolling back any state changes made as part of the transaction. Returns as soon as the transaction manager records the abort decision, without waiting for the transaction manager to notify all participants of the decision.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      CannotAbortException - if the transaction is known to have previously reached the COMMITTED state due to an earlier commit
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
    • abort

      Abort the transaction, waiting for participants to be notified of the decision. This can be called at any time by any object holding a reference to the transaction. Abort asks the transaction manager to abort the transaction and to notify each participant of the decision, resulting in them rolling back any state changes made as part of the transaction. Returns if the transaction manager records the decision and is able to notify all participants of the decision before the specified timeout expires. If the transaction manager is unable to notify all participants of the decision before the specified timeout expires, then TimeoutExpiredException is thrown.
      Parameters:
      id - the transaction ID
      waitFor - timeout to wait, from the start of the call until all participants have been notified of the transaction manager's decision
      Throws:
      UnknownTransactionException - if the transaction is unknown to the transaction manager, either because the transaction ID is incorrect or because the transaction is complete and its state has been discarded by the manager.
      CannotAbortException - if the transaction is known to have previously reached the COMMITTED state due to an earlier commit
      TimeoutExpiredException - if the timeout expires before all participants have been notified
      RemoteException - if there is a communication error
