Abort in onUpdateNode()

hbf — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:48:42 GMT

Hi,I've added a onUpdateNode behaviour to my node type. Under certain circumstances my code in onUpdateNote() needs to abort the update. Is it possible to abort the current transaction?I see that onUpdateNode() does not throw exceptions which seems to indicate that the transaction cannot be aborted?

If you throw any AlfrescoRuntimeException (or derived) it will cause the txn to be aborted.

  public void onUpdateNode(NodeRef nodeRef)
  {
    if (nodeService.exists(nodeRef))
    try {
      // …
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      String msg = "onUpdateNode for property "+"" +" failed.";
      logger.fatal(msg);
      throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException(msg, e);
    }
  }
}

Works like a charm. Thanks a lot!
