Method Detail

beforeMessageDelivery

void beforeMessageDelivery(Method method,
                         boolean txImported)

Pre-delivery notification to the container. Any transaction initialization is peformed here. In addition, when this method returns, the current thread's context class loader will be set the message-bean's application class loader.

Parameters:

method - is the method that will be invoked during deliverMessage. It is used the container during transaction setup to lookup the appropriate transaction attribute.

txImported - whether a transaction is being imported

deliverMessage

Object deliverMessage(Object[] params)
                      throws Throwable

Deliver a message to a message bean instance.

Parameters:

params - to use of the method invocation. Can be null or an 0-length array if there are 0 arguments.

Throws:

Throwable - This is either an application exception as thrown from the message bean instance or a javax.ejb.EJBException in the case that the bean throws a system exception. Note that exceptions are *always* propagated, regardless of transaction type.

afterMessageDelivery

void afterMessageDelivery()

Post-delivery notification to the container. Container will perform any work required to commit/rollback a container-managed transaction. When this method returns, the thread's context class loader will be restored to the value it had when beforeMessageDelivery was called.

setResourceHandle

void setResourceHandle(com.sun.appserv.connectors.internal.api.ResourceHandle handle)
