Does JCache support EJB Transaction on cache read/write?

Does JCache support EJB Transaction while cache read/write?

I want to clear cache entries that added during a transactional method call, if its transaction is rolled back.

I am using Redis as cache provider and Redisson's JCache implementation as client.

Solution

  • No. Support for JTA (Java Transaction API supported by EJBs), was initially planed in the JCache spec but was removed before the release of version 1.0

    As for the last version of the spec, 1.1.1 (available here) this hasn't changed.

    Redisson on the other hand does provide a XAResource that can be enlisted in JTA transactions, using an specific API, as JCache doesn't provide it.
