Inbound-Gateway and spanning transactions

[Marre]

Hi!

I have difficulties configuring a "spanning" transaction, i.e. a transaction spanning over multiple services.
Currently each service is transactional but it is not enough in some cases.

Ex:
Jms:InboundGateway -> ServiceActivatorA -> SerivceActivatorB
An error in ServiceB should cause a rollback of the entire process and thereby undo serviceA work.

I want the same functionality as the transactional element in a poller:

<si:poller cron="0 0 4 1 * ?">
    		
    		<si:transactional transaction-manager="txManager" 
                   isolation="DEFAULT"
                   propagation="REQUIRED" 
                   read-only="false" 
                   />
   	</si:poller>

Any tips about how I can solve this issue?

Hello.
Show your channels configuration, please
poller work only on asynchronous channels.
So, you must enclose your executiong thread in transaction.

Although that poster used a chain, the same technique will work in your case.

Thank you, it works fine using a transactional gateway
