How to handle transaction rollback in #PreUpdate - jpa

Question

I want to validate entities before persisting/updating them. To do so I use the #PrePersist and #PreUpdate annotations and throw an exception to rollback the transaction. Then I catch the exception and inform the user that the entity was not valid. Everything works fine for the #PrePersist but the #PreUpdate flood the log with warning and stack-trace before I can catch the exception.
Test entity:
#Entity
public class TestEntity implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
private String name = "default";
#PrePersist
private void prePersist() { throw new RuntimeException("Test runtime exception in prePersist"); }
#PreUpdate
private void preUpdate() { throw new RuntimeException("Test runtime exception in preUpdate"); }
public String getName() { return name; }
public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
}
Test session bean:
#Stateless
#LocalBean
public class TestSession {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("TestSession");
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
#Resource
private SessionContext ctx;
public void testRollback() {
try {
TestEntity entity = new TestEntity();
em.persist(entity);
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
logger.severe("Runtime exception catched in session bean.");
if (ctx.getRollbackOnly()) {
logger.info("Context rollbacked.");
} else {
logger.info("Context is ok.");
}
}
}
public void testRollback2() {
try {
TestEntity entity = em.find(TestEntity.class, new Long(1));
if (entity != null) { entity.setName("test"); }
em.flush();
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
logger.severe("Runtime exception catched in session bean.");
if (ctx.getRollbackOnly()) {
logger.info("Context rollbacked.");
} else {
logger.info("Context is ok.");
}
}
}
}
Output when calling testRollback:
GRAVE: Runtime exception catched in session bean.
INFO: Context rollbacked.
Output when calling testRollback2:
ATTENTION: java.lang.RuntimeException: Test runtime exception in preUpdate

GRAVE: Runtime exception catched in session bean.
INFO: Context rollbacked.
The log seems to be generated by eclipselink. How am I supposed to handle transaction rollback inside #PrePersist method to avoid all this logging?

Answer 1

It is just logging that the error occurred. It should not have any impact.
You can turn logging off, or disable exception logging.
