2.7. Transaction Termination
How long a
Control
can access a terminated transaction is implementation-specific. In JBoss Transaction Service, if you are using the Current
pseudo-object, all information about a transaction is destroyed when it terminates. For this reason, you should not use any Control
references to the transaction after issuing the commit or rollback operation.
However, if you terminate the transaction explicitly, using the
Terminator
interface, information about the transaction is only removed when all the outstanding references to it have been destroyed. You can signal that the transaction information is no longer required, by using the destroyControl
method of the OTS class, which is found in the com.arjuna.CosTransactions package. After the program indicates that the transaction information is no longer required, you should not use any Control
references to the transaction.
