Hibernate save() and transaction rollback

Question

In Hibernate when i save() an object in a transaction, and then i rollback it, the saved object still remains in the DB. It's strange because this issue doesn't happen with the update() or delete() method, just with save() .

Here is the code i'm using:

DbEntity dbEntity = getDbEntity();
HibernateUtil.beginTransaction();
Session session = HibernateUtil.getCurrentSession();
session.save(dbEntity);
HibernateUtil.rollbackTransaction();

And here is the HibernateUtil class (just the involved functions, i guarantee the getSessionFactory() method works well - there is an Interceptor handler, but it doesn't matter now):

private static final ThreadLocal<Session> threadSession = new ThreadLocal<Session>();
private static final ThreadLocal<Transaction> threadTransaction = new ThreadLocal<Transaction>();

/**
* Retrieves the current Session local to the thread.
* <p/>
* If no Session is open, opens a new Session for the running thread.
*
* @return Session
*/
public static Session getCurrentSession()
    throws HibernateException {
    Session s = (Session) threadSession.get();
    try {
        if (s == null) {
            log.debug("Opening new Session for this thread.");
            if (getInterceptor() != null) {
                log.debug("Using interceptor: " + getInterceptor().getClass());
                s = getSessionFactory().openSession(getInterceptor());
            } else {
                s = getSessionFactory().openSession();
            }
            threadSession.set(s);
        }
    } catch (HibernateException ex) {
        throw new HibernateException(ex);
    }
    return s;
}

/**
* Start a new database transaction.
*/
public static void beginTransaction()
    throws HibernateException {
    Transaction tx = (Transaction) threadTransaction.get();
    try {
        if (tx == null) {
            log.debug("Starting new database transaction in this thread.");
            tx = getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
            threadTransaction.set(tx);
        }
    } catch (HibernateException ex) {
        throw new HibernateException(ex);
    }
}

/**
 * Rollback the database transaction.
 */
public static void rollbackTransaction()
    throws HibernateException {
    Transaction tx = (Transaction) threadTransaction.get();
    try {
        threadTransaction.set(null);
        if ( tx != null && !tx.wasCommitted() && !tx.wasRolledBack() ) {
            log.debug("Tyring to rollback database transaction of this thread.");
            tx.rollback();
        }
    } catch (HibernateException ex) {
        throw new HibernateException(ex);
    } finally {
        closeSession();
    }
}

Thanks

Answer 1

检查您的数据库是否支持回滚，即如果您使用的是InnoDB表而不是MyISAM（您可以混合使用事务性表和非事务性表，但在大多数情况下，您希望所有表都是InnoDB）。

Answer 2

MySQL by default uses the MyIsam storage engine. As the MyISAM does not support transactions, insert, update and delete statements are directly written to the database. The commit and rollback statements are ignored.

In order to use transaction you need to change the storage engine of you tables. Use this command:

ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE = InnoDB;

(note how ever, that the two storage engines are different and you need to test you're application if it still behaves as expected)
