How to Set the Transaction Isolation Level in WebLogic?
Is there a way to set the transaction isolation level in WebLogic 9.2 or WebLogic 10?
For an example say, we have an application which is supported for several database platforms. Without setting the transaction isolation level in DBMS level, is there a way to specify this in WebLogic to make it common for all the DBMS type?
And I found a way to change the transaction isolation level in WebSphere application server using a property called webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel.

Is there a way to do the same thing in WebLogic application server 9.2 or 10?

for WLS-generated code, yes.Somewhat related to this question, we have written a standalone testcase to reproduce this issue we have been having. Basically, the issue is that even though we configure the isolation level to a non-default one in the deployment descriptor, the connections returned by the datasource seem to be having the default (which is Read Committed). The DBMS is DB2.
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml has the following set:
<isolation-level>TransactionRepeatableRead</isolation-level>
And we printed the isolation level of the connection returned from a method in the EJB, but the isolation level is still the default. I can share the code to reproduce the problem if you want to take a look at it. Please let me know how I can get that across to you.
Thanks,
AnuradhaIf you are using our JDBC driver for DB2, or can switch to it,
just for a test, there is some debug I'd like from you.

How to set Transaction isolation level in Weblogic 11g
How do I set the transaction isolation level in Weblogic?
Some references that I found suggest that I have to explicitely state the isolation level in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml per ejb. If I am using EJB 3.0 why would I need to do that?
Can I set this up as a property in the JDBC datasource setup?
Other application servers like Websphere actually allows for this. Can this be done in Weblogic?
Currently I get the following message if I don't set the isolation level:
Transaction attribute: TX_NOT_SUPPORTED Isolation Level: No Isolation Level Set Tx Timeout: 30000
What seems to be happening is that one update of my transaction is getting rolled back and other consequent calls are failing due to foreign key issues due to the first rollback.
I think the issue is related to the isolation level or the transaction time out being too low.
Any ideas?
BTW: I am using openjpa and using a MS SQLServer. Not sure if that helps the discussion.
Thanks

Transaction Isolation Levels in weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml
Hi All,
Iam using ejb 1.1 specification with weblogic 5.1. We can set the transaction
isolation levels for the methods in the
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. There is also a provision for setting this isolation level
in the weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml. Now is there any difference between setting
the isolation levels in these two ways.
Help me asap.The CMP setting has been deprecated. You can set it for all types of
EJBs in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml

Setting transaction isolation level in Weblogic 5.1
Hi,
I'm using Weblogic server5.1 and i'm trying to set the isolation level on one
of my session bean. Below is the code :
<weblogic-ejb-jar>
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>chargeMgr</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>chargeMgr</jndi-name>
<transaction-isolation>
<isolation-level>Serializable</isolation-level>
<method>
<ejb-name>chargeMgr</ejb-name>
<method-intf>Remote</method-intf>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
</transaction-isolation>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>
I have checked the syntax against the weblogic documentation.
However, when i try to jar the beans up into the jar file (weblogic.ejbc), it
give me the following error :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element "weblogic-enterprise-bean" allows no further
input; "transaction-isolation" is not allowed.
Can anyone help?
Regards.
yes, only in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml , and you can see that from the DTD
source.

How to set the isolation level on Entity EJBs
I am using 10.1.3.3 of the OC4J app server.
I am creating an application that uses EJB 2.1.
I am trying to set the isolation levels on the EJBs to either serializable or repeatable read.
When i deploy the EAR file from the OC4J admin console, i can set the isolation level property on the EJB's however when i inspect the orion-ejb-jar.xml file I do not see the isolation level being set. Furthermore, i tried to manually change the isolation setting by editing the orion-ejb-jar.xml and adding the isolation="serialiable" attribute on the entity bean descriptor. I then stopped and restarted the server. I noticed that my change was no longer in the file.
Can someone please let me know how to solve this problem and set the isolation level on Entity EJBs . ThanksI find it at ejb.pdf from BEA.
The transaction-isolation stanza can contain the elements shown here:
<transaction-isolation>
<isolation-level>Serializable</isolation-level>
<method>
<description>...</description>
<ejb-name>...</ejb-name>
<method-intf>...</method-intf>
<method-name>...</method-name>
<method-params>...</method-params>
</method>
</transaction-isolation>

Setting transaction isolation levels in WAS5
I think I'm missing something pretty easy. How can I set the isolation
levels for the containter managed transactions on my beans?
Specifically, I want to set soem lookup methods on my Sessions beans
to TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ. I've already put the
container-transaction blocks in my ejb-jar.xml
Does Websphere 5 have something akin to WebLogic's
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml where you can set additional parameters like
this? Do I have to use a tool like WSAD to specify this? The AAT
doesn't seem to have this option.
Thanks,
James LynnHi Slava, Ryan,
We haven't looked at 8.1 yet since our release cycle wouldn't allow us
to move to 8.1 until at least June anyway, but even if the problems was
fixed there it took BEA support more than 6 months (I opened the case on
Sep 23 2002 and only this week I got the patch that I haven't even tried
to test to see if it works) to issue a patch for such a small problem.
The server would just check if the Oracle XA driver was being used and
no matter what version would just throw an exception if you try to set
the transaction isolation level saying that the feature in the Oracle
8.1.7 driver was broken... (although you might be using 9.x or even a
pre-8.1.7 driver)...
So this is about it.
And Slava, I've tried pushing a case harder only to end up with BEA
support trying to convince me that I was misinterpreting the JDBC spec
when it was not true, so I just gave up. The main goal of BEA support in
all of our experience has been that they don't try to solve the cases
but close them.
That's my and some of my colleagues personal views anyway, you don't
have to share them.
Regards,
Dejan

Hi Deyan,
Sorry for the delay. Could you give us more details about CR090104?
I've got some feedback in XA area, not sure if it was a related case.
Also, I've never had any problems with weblogic CCE, so you may want
to push your case a little harder.
As per the bold statement - the initial question was about functionality
available in weblogic but not available in websphere - it can't be more
bold :)

This is a very bold statement Slava, considering that with Oracle XA
driver you cannot even set the transaction isolation level because of a
Weblogic bug (CR090104 that has been open for more than 6 months
already)...

My guess here is that it's a signal that this is a last chance

Setting transaction isolation level in a session bean

In a stateless session bean (EJB3) with container managed transactions I need to set the transaction isolation level to SERIALIZABLE.
The idea is to prevent lost update on database when multiple accesses occur concurrently.

Setting transaction isolation level rises ORA-02089 error
Hello
We have configured a distributed transaction in our application server and
we are using openjpa 1.2.1 and Glassfish application server and Oracle 11g as DB server. Although the default behavior of transaction locking must be optimistic,
it seems that pessimistic locking has been happened.
It is found that Row Lock contention happens in a specific table.
This is the exception :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02049: timeout: distributed transaction waiting for lock
Already all the following properties have been set for openjpa.
1. <persistence-unit name="JPXA" transation-type="JTA">
2. <property name="openjpa.TransactionMode" value="managed"/>
You can try a plug-in string to lookup the TM in JNDI (the value is the JNDI name of GlassFish TM as per Google search)
3. <property name="openjpa.ManagedRuntime"
value="jndi(TransactionManagerName=java:appserver/TransactionManager)"/>
Following searching about this locking problem, we found that we should add two more properties for openjpa as listed below.
<property name="openjpa.LockManager" value="version" />
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.TransactionIsolation" value="read-committed" />
but this time by setting the transaction isolation level, we have got another error: org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: ORA-02089: COMMIT is not allowed in a subordinate session.
Thanks for any help.

Setting transaction isolation level for jDriver Oracle/XA
edocs (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/oracle/trxjdbcx.html#1080746) states that,
if using jDriver for Oracle/XA you can not set the transaction isolation level
for a
transaction and that 'Transactions use the transaction isolation level set on
the connection
or the default transaction isolation level for the database'. Does this mean that
you shouldn't try to set it programatically (fair enough) or that you can't set
it in the weblogic deployment descriptor either? Also anybody got any idea what
the default is likely to be if you are using
an Oracle 9iR2 database?Ian,
The default for Oracle (any version) is ReadCommitted. The only other
isolation level Oracle supports is Serializable but it's implemented in
such a way that you will be allowed to continue until commit time and
only then you might get an exception stating the the access for that
transaction could not be serialized.
I don't know for the jDriver but if you use the Oracle Thin XA driver
even if you set the isolation level in your descriptor you will get an
exception from Weblogic. It is a Weblogic bug and you can contact
[email protected] to get a patch.

Transaction Isolation Level for EJB methods
L.S.
I just found out the in OC4J one can not set the transaction isolation level on ejb methods. Moreover one needs to revert to bean managed transaction (manual coding of the ALL transaction logic) to set the isolation level.
On entity beans one can only set the isolation level for the whole bean (not on individual methods), and in session beans there is no way at all to set the isolation level.
This is on shear contract to all other application servers I used before (there one can declaratively set the isolation level for a ejb method, both in session and in entitybean deployment descriptors)
Is it foreseen in a future release to include such a valuable feature will be provided by oc4j?
Note that I was VERY surprised that OC4J could not handle this (I checked the j2ee spec, but admittedly the spec is a little vague about this support and makes it vendor dependent. the j2ee spec does not mandate this, except for CMP entity beans, but includes some suggestions on this ability. But most other application servers implemented the ability)
Regadrs,
ErikHello Erik --
I think we met in Perth recently?
Anyway, your information is correct.
We can set the transaction isolation level for each entity bean, at the bean level. We don't have for the specification of method level isolation settings -- I'd be interested to hear how you would like/do use this. What behaviour do you expect to see when a transaction is started that spans multiple methods on a bean with different declared isolation levels.
For session beans, we do not currently have the ability to declaratively specify the isolation level to use for the bean. I know this is not in the forthcoming 904 release, and will to check what is beyond that.
As you point out, this can be done programatically using the Connection.setIsolationLevel() method on any connections you are using from within the session bean.
I'd would like to log an enhancement request for you for this functionality. Can you send me an email at [email protected] and we'll take it offline.

Locking issues with transaction-isolation levels
I believe that my program is suffering from some sort of deadlock, and I was hoping
for some feedback.
I am helping to develop a trading system
using EJBs, Oracle 9i, and Bea Weblogic 7.0. The system provides an entity EJB
called LiveOrder that exposes several finder methods, most of which return java.util.Collections
of LiveOrder EJBs.
In weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, I have set the transaction isolation-levels for these
finders to TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED_FOR_UPDATE (b/c TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE
isn't really supported by Oracle), in an effort to eliminate phantom reads, which
occur frequently if I do not use this isolation level. These finders all use transaction
attribute 'Required'.
It is my understanding that any transaction that calls any of these finders either
will lock the database if no other transaction already owns the lock, or will
wait until the lock is released if another transaction owns that lock. It also
is my understanding that a transaction that owns a lock will always release any
locks acquired upon expiration of that transaction (whether that be via commit
or via rollback).
However, this doesn't always appear the case: I have noticed occassionally that
several clients "hang," as they wait for the lock that, for some reason, is not
being released by its transaction. There do not appear to be any exceptions thrown
by the system prior to the system hanging, and the Weblogic administration tool
states that all transactions have been committed.
If it helps, I have included the general algorithm for the main (i.e., most expensive)
transaction:
1. a client calls a stateless session EJB's processOrder method (which should
implicitly start a new transaction, b/c this method has attibute 'RequiresNew')
2. the transaction invokes the LiveOrder finder method (this should lock the DB,
so subsequent callers should block until the lock is released).
3. the transaction invokes another LiveOrder finder method, returning a separate
set of data.
4. the transaction invokes a finder method from a separate entity EJB (called
Security), which maps to a "read-only" table in the DB (default transaction-isolation
level, Required attribute).
5. the transaction invokes a finder method from yet another separate entity EJB
(called SecurityMarketValues), which maps to some other table (not read-only)
in the DB (again, default transaction-isolation level, Required attribute).
6. the transaction writes to the SecurityMarketValues entity EJB.
7. the transaction writes to the LiveOrders retrieved from steps 2 and 3.
8. the transaction ends by exiting method processOrder (thus releasing the locks
on the LiveOrder table in the DB).
In the system, there also exist other transactions that occassionally call the
LiveOrder EJB finder methods, but only briefly to take a "snapshot" of the live
order table (i.e., these transactions do not make calls to other DB tables, and
close transactions almost immediately after starting them)
Like I mentioned before, the system sometimes works, and sometimes it hangs. Any
ideas? I'm running out...
Jon,
If there was an Oracle deadlock the DB would resolve it momentarily and
will ultimately choose one transaction and throw an exception so it's
not a DB deadlock.
Take a thread dump at the very moment your system seems to be hanging
and look at what the threads are doing.
From your description it's not very unlikely that those threads of
yours that take snapshots of the data will not disrupt the transactions
so you may be surprised by the thread dumps that this is actually what
happens -- those snapshot thread wait for some lock while holding locks
needed by you other threads and it just slows down the system.
Regards,
Dejan

About Transaction Isolation Levels...
Hi Everyone,
Please, i have a couple of questions regarding the Transaction Isolation Level, i will really appreciate any help on this...
1.- It is possible to know the transaction isolation level of all connections to the DB.??.. something like a select from v$session...
2.- I have an application that manage it's own connection pool and have set all of its connections to Transaction_read_commited. The problem is that for some reason, sometimes we get the "ORA-08177: can't serialize access for this transaction." Error. But what i know is that this ORA-08177 error only happens if the transaction isolation level is set to TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE. How can be that possible??. There is another application running that points to the same database that maybe uses TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE connections but even if this is happening, why the error is happening with my application!!?. Both applications are running on the same weblogic application server with oracle thin jdbc driver... (Oracle 9i)
Thanks in advance...
Victor.thanks for the answers guys... i was reding several articles by Tom and also looking into Metalink documents... but my concern or my million dollar question is still: if exists the possibility to get the ORA-8177 error, even if i'm using Transaction isolation level READ_COMMITED???... what i learned from this articles is that if i use the Transaction SERIALIZABLE i may have this ORA-8177.. otherwise i wouldn't. right?... and if exists bugs related all that bugs may exists only if i define my connection as TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE.
I'm pretty sure that in my application ("Application A") i'm not using any TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE connections.... but i'm afraid that the other application ("Application B") is causing some blocks or conflicts with "Application A"... Is that possible?? (i think that in theory it's not)... But still if that's possible.. i return to my question... Why that ORA-8177 error raises on my "Application A".... this kind of error must be raising only in the "application B"....
Well maybe is something confusing.. an maybe is totally related to some developing mistake.... i just wanted to confirm some other point of views....
thanks again!!..
Victor
