RollBack when we throw a custom exception

[jayasimhan]

Hi,

I'm using Spring Batch 1.1.0.

I'm using listeners to log the exception. My problem is the transaction is getting rolled back when exception is thrown by the process, but transaction is not rolled back when we manually throw a custom exception.

Why its behaving like this ?

Please find my job configuration below

<bean id="agencyMergeJob" parent="simpleJob">
		<!-- set restartable=false so that this job can be used by more than one test -->
		<property name="restartable" value="true"  />
		<property name="steps">
		<list>
		    <bean id="procbsln" parent="skipLimitStep">
				<property name="skipLimit" value="99999"/>
				<property name="itemReader" ref="procBslnItemReader" />
				<property name="itemWriter" ref="statusChangeItemWriter" />
				<property name="commitInterval" value="1" />
				<property name="skippableExceptionClasses"	value="java.lang.Exception"/>
				<property name="allowStartIfComplete" value="true" />
			</bean>
			<bean id="agencyMerge" parent="skipLimitStep">
				<property name="skipLimit" value="99999"/>
				<property name="itemReader" ref="hibernateItemReader" />
				<property name="itemWriter" ref="hibernateItemWriter" />
				<property name="commitInterval" value="1" />
				<property name="skippableExceptionClasses"	value="java.lang.Exception"/>
				<property name="allowStartIfComplete" value="true" />
				<property name="listeners">
					<list>
						<ref bean="skipStepListener"/>
						<ref bean="stepListener"/>
					</list>
				</property>
			</bean>
			<bean id="statusChange" parent="skipLimitStep">
				<property name="skipLimit" value="99999"/>
				<property name="itemReader" ref="statusItemReader" />
				<property name="itemWriter" ref="statusChangeItemWriter" />
				<property name="commitInterval" value="1" />
				<property name="skippableExceptionClasses"	value="java.lang.Exception"/>
				<property name="allowStartIfComplete" value="true" />
				<property name="listeners">
					<list>
						<ref bean="skipStepListener"/>
						<ref bean="stepListener"/>
					</list>
				</property>
			</bean>		
		</list>	
		</property>
	</bean>

My custom exception extends exception

throw new CustomException(message,throwable);

when i do like the above one, my transaction is not getting rolled back

Correct me if im wrong.

Is your custom exception a checked exception? If so, there was an issue we fixed in 1.1.3 related to how the framework handles checked exceptions.

Yes Lucas, my custom exception is a checked exception.
Will upgrade my spring batch version

I was using org.springframework.batch.item.support.DelegatingI temReader.

This is being removed from version2. Is there any similar class in v2 ?

Yes Lucas, my custom exception is a checked exception.
