How to do database transaction rollback in wso2 esb or wso2 dss

Question

I am inserting into three tables using Box_caring feature, insertion happening properly but if some error comes in between while inserting into tables its not roll backing the data.

I'm looking for a solution to the following challenge:Have a set of related tables. They are related by primary/foreign key relations and need to update/insert objects in the related tables. Insert/update happening inside iterator mediator. what happens when one of the updates/insert fails? Will all the inserted/updated objects rolled back?.

Please give any ideas or links or code snippet to make it work.

Note: Am using wso2 esb-4.8.1, wso2 dss-3.2.2 and MSSQL database

Gone through below links: http://charithaka.blogspot.in/2014/02/common-mistakes-to-avoid-in-wso2-esb-1.html

How we can ROLLBACK the Transaction in WSO2DSS or WSO2ESB

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Here you have to implement Distributed XA transactions. Could you please refer to the article [1] which will guide you through this.

When you are using box_carring feature, you have to maintain same session across all the operation calls. Otherwise, it will evaluates as separated calls and will not be atomic. Here is a sample synapse config that can be used to maintain the same session.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="ESBService"
       transports="https http"
       startOnLoad="true"
       trace="disable">

      <faultSequence>
         <log>
            <property name="END" value="****ROLLBACK****"/>
         </log>
         <transaction action="rollback"/>
         <respond/>
      </faultSequence>
   </target>
</proxy>

However, you can use request_box feature, where you do not have to maintain the session across operations.
