RE: [Tm4j-developers] ProviderTransaction.abort() and ProviderTransaction.rollback()

[Kal A. <ka...@te...>]

Hi Conal,

The main difference between rollback() and abort() is that rollback() must
return the persistent store to the state it was in when the transaction
started. abort()also terminates the transaction but does not require that
the persistent store returns to its original state (I would say not
"required", but certainly still "desirable"). 

I think that if you can implement rollback() then abort() should probably
always be a straight call through to rollback.

Cheers

Kal
