XA transaction in spring batch - spring-batch

Question

I am trying to commit jms and database transaction in spring batch job. I was under assumption that spring batch transaction are xa transactions. But in my item writer even when jms transaction errored out database transaction is committing. Can any one pls help me if I am missing something. Do I need to third party libraries for XA in spring batch?

Answer 1

I am actually throwing exception intentionally to test transaction roll back. Now even without any jms transaction just a database transaction is committing even with exception thrown from the item writer.Below is the method in writer which is saving into DB. compEvent object is jpa repository injected into this class
private void writeCEs(Map<TrueEvent, List<Event>> agentMap)
throws FailedCompensationException, Exception {
for (Entry<TrueEvent, List<Event>> agent : agentMap.entrySet()) {
agent.getValue().stream().forEach((ce) -> {
compEvent.save(ce);
});
updateRecordFileStatus(agent.getKey());
//postToAccounting(agent.getKey(), agent.getValue());
}
throw new Exception("Testing XA roolback.... ");
}
Below is my batch configuration
#EnableBatchProcessing
#EnableTransactionManagement
#Configuration
#ComponentScan({ "com.pm.*" })
public class TrueBatchConfig extends DefaultBatchConfigurer {
#Autowired
private JobBuilderFactory jobs;
#Autowired
private StepBuilderFactory steps;
#Autowired
EventReader reader;
#Autowired
private EventProcessor processor;
#Autowired
private EventWriter writer;
#Bean
protected Step step1(ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor) {
DefaultTransactionAttribute attribute = new DefaultTransactionAttribute();
attribute.setPropagationBehavior(Propagation.REQUIRED.value());
attribute.setIsolationLevel(Isolation.DEFAULT.value());
attribute.setTimeout(30);
return steps.get("step1").<List<TrueEvent>, Map<TrueUpEvent, List<Event>>>chunk(10).reader(reader)
.processor(processor).writer(writer).transactionAttribute(attribute).build();
}
#Bean(name = "firstBatchJob")
public Job job(#Qualifier("step1") Step step1) {
return jobs.get("firstBatchJob").start(step1).build();
}
}
