You are throwing a JavaScript tier exception which is handled in the same script that it is thrown in. Alfresco will only deal with any exceptions that cross an API boundary or bubble up to the top-level web script call. Since you are explicitely handling the exception without rethrowing it, there is no way for the retry logic to even be aware of the exception and handle it. By handling it yourself you are specifically saying "I got this - no need to run the default rollback".

If you want Alfresco to rollback the transaction, just make sure that any exceptions are propagated properly up the call chain. If you want a specific status code and message to be set, you'd have to use the Java WebScriptException class to tell the default handling what it should set in the response.
