The scope may, or may not, be transactional. When false there is no current scope and txControl.getCurrentContext(); will return null. * txControl.activeTransaction() - When true there is a transactional scope in effect and resources can be accessed transactionally. When false there may, or may not, be a "No Transaction" scope in effect. Note that assert txControl.activeTransaction(); can be used to enforce the presence of a transaction. This is equivalent to a "Mandatory" transaction in Spring or Java EE. ## Avoiding rollback When setting up a transaction certain exception types can be marked as not triggering rollback: txControl.build() .noRollbackFor(MyCustomException.class) .required(() -> { // A MyCustomException thrown here will not trigger rollback }); ## Nesting a transaction Nesting a Transaction can easily be managed using requiresNew() txControl.required(() -> { // Do some work... return txControl.requiresNew(() -> { // Do some more work }); }); ## Suspending a transaction Suspending a Transaction can easily be managed using notSupported() txControl.required(() -> { // Do some work... return txControl.notSupported(() -> { // Do some more work }); });
