Can a caller be notified when there is a rollback in the called method?

In my controller I would like to be able to return a message that indicates that an error produced a rollback.

For example:

Code:

---

    someService.insertRowInDB ( someDomainObject ) ; // this method annotated with  @Transactional

    if (thereWasARollback) {
          return rollback ; // view name
    } else {
          return success ; // view name
    }

---

I know I could detect the exception that triggers a rollback and set a return value that can be used to determine if there was a rollback. I would rather have Spring tell me.

Thanks,

Catch the exception from the service... Do something in the catch...

Code:

---


try {
  someService.insertRowInDB ( someDomainObject );
  return success;
} catch (DataAccessException dae) {
  return rollback;
}

---

You now also have the means to detect what went wrong and give some informative message to the user.
