## Class RuleBasedTransactionAttribute

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.transaction.support.DefaultTransactionDefinition
  - - org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.DefaultTransactionAttribute
    - - org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.RuleBasedTransactionAttribute

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, TransactionAttribute, TransactionDefinition

      public class RuleBasedTransactionAttribute
      extends DefaultTransactionAttribute
      implements Serializable

  TransactionAttribute implementation that works out whether a given exception should cause transaction rollback by applying a number of rollback rules, both positive and negative. If no rules are relevant to the exception, it behaves like DefaultTransactionAttribute (rolling back on runtime exceptions).

  `TransactionAttributeEditor` creates objects of this class.

    `List<RollbackRuleAttribute>` | `getRollbackRules()` Return the list of `RollbackRuleAttribute` objects (never `null`).
    `boolean` | `rollbackOn(Throwable ex)` Winning rule is the shallowest rule (that is, the closest in the inheritance hierarchy to the exception).

        Constant Field Values

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### RuleBasedTransactionAttribute

          public RuleBasedTransactionAttribute()

      Create a new RuleBasedTransactionAttribute, with default settings. Can be modified through bean property setters.
      See Also:
        `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setPropagationBehavior(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setIsolationLevel(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setTimeout(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setReadOnly(boolean)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setName(java.lang.String)`, `setRollbackRules(java.util.List<org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.RollbackRuleAttribute>)`

    - #### RuleBasedTransactionAttribute

          public RuleBasedTransactionAttribute(RuleBasedTransactionAttribute other)

      Copy constructor. Definition can be modified through bean property setters.
      See Also:
        `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setPropagationBehavior(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setIsolationLevel(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setTimeout(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setReadOnly(boolean)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setName(java.lang.String)`, `setRollbackRules(java.util.List<org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.RollbackRuleAttribute>)`

    - #### RuleBasedTransactionAttribute

          public RuleBasedTransactionAttribute(int propagationBehavior,
                                               List<RollbackRuleAttribute> rollbackRules)

      Create a new DefaultTransactionAttribute with the the given propagation behavior. Can be modified through bean property setters.
      Parameters:
        `propagationBehavior` - one of the propagation constants in the TransactionDefinition interface
        `rollbackRules` - the list of RollbackRuleAttributes to apply
      See Also:
        `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setIsolationLevel(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setTimeout(int)`, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.setReadOnly(boolean)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setRollbackRules

          public void setRollbackRules(List<RollbackRuleAttribute> rollbackRules)

      Set the list of `RollbackRuleAttribute` objects (and/or `NoRollbackRuleAttribute` objects) to apply.
      See Also:
        `RollbackRuleAttribute`, `NoRollbackRuleAttribute`

    - #### getRollbackRules

          public List<RollbackRuleAttribute> getRollbackRules()

      Return the list of `RollbackRuleAttribute` objects (never `null`).

    - #### rollbackOn

          public boolean rollbackOn(Throwable ex)

      Winning rule is the shallowest rule (that is, the closest in the inheritance hierarchy to the exception). If no rule applies (-1), return false.
      Specified by:
        `rollbackOn` in interface `TransactionAttribute`
      Overrides:
        `rollbackOn` in class `DefaultTransactionAttribute`
      Parameters:
        `ex` - the exception to evaluate
      Returns:
        whether to perform a rollback or not
      See Also:
        `TransactionAttribute.rollbackOn(java.lang.Throwable)`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Description copied from class: `DefaultTransactionDefinition`
      Return an identifying description for this transaction definition.

      The format matches the one used by `TransactionAttributeEditor`, to be able to feed `toString` results into bean properties of type `TransactionAttribute`.

      Has to be overridden in subclasses for correct `equals` and `hashCode` behavior. Alternatively, `DefaultTransactionDefinition.equals(java.lang.Object)` and `DefaultTransactionDefinition.hashCode()` can be overridden themselves.

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `DefaultTransactionDefinition`

        `DefaultTransactionDefinition.getDefinitionDescription()`, `TransactionAttributeEditor`
