spring 3.1: jdbcTemplate auto commit to false.

Question

Hi Is their a way to set autocommit to false in spring jdbctemplate.

The thing is instead of transaction (where their is rollback option), I want to have query committed at end of transaction.

So instead of

insert --> commit --> rollback.

I want insert --> fail --> (no commit).

I did not understand your whole question, but I can answer the first part: Is there a way to set autocommit to false in spring jdbctemplate?

The autocommit configuration is normally set on the connection itself. The Connection is created by the Datasource. As the JdbcTemplate does not have an option to manually disable auto commit in the connections it requests to the Datasource, the way to achieve this is using a Datasource that creates connections with autocommit set to false by default.

This example configuration using apache commons BasicDataSource achieves that:

<bean id="database" class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
    <property name="dataSource">
        <bean class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
            ...
            <property name="defaultAutoCommit" value="false" />
            ...
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

I tried to catch your question, and there are some ideas to solve them. The way set autocommit to false in spring jdbctemplate:

1. Set defaultAutoCommit property of DataSource to false.

2. You can commit or rollback by writing codes as below:

   jdbcTemplate.getDataSource().getConnection.commit();
   jdbcTemplate.getDataSource().getConnection.rollback();
