Hello,
I'm Ondra Chaloupka, a member of the Narayana team. Recently we've got a question from a user about handling of java.lang.Error thrown in a method of a CDI bean. The question is if a transaction started by the CDI @Transactional interceptor should be marked for rollback.
As I was reading the current JTA specification it's not clear (at least to me). The spec says
By default checked exceptions do not result in the transactional interceptor marking the transaction for rollback and instances of RuntimeException and its subclasses do.
There is not said what to do with other un-checked exceptions. There is mentioned explicitly only the RuntimeTransaction here.
On the other hand, the text about Synchronization says that
An unchecked exception thrown by a registered Synchronization object causes the transaction to be aborted.
Should not be changed the text about CDI @Transactional interceptor in the same way - i.e. from explicit RuntimeException to term 'unchecked exception'?
Thank you,
Ondra
