public interface SessionSynchronization
The SessionSynchronization interface allows a stateful session bean instance to be notified by its container of transaction boundaries.
Only a stateful session bean with container-managed transaction demarcation can receive session synchronization notifications. Other bean types must not implement the SessionSynchronization interface or use the session synchronization annotations.
A stateful session bean class is not required to implement this interface.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| void | afterBegin()The  afterBeginmethod notifies a stateful session bean instance that a new
 transaction has started, and that the subsequent business methods on the
 instance will be invoked in the context of the transaction. | 
| void | afterCompletion(boolean committed)The  afterCompletionmethod notifies a stateful session bean instance that a
 transaction commit protocol has completed, and tells the instance
 whether the transaction has been committed or rolled back. | 
| void | beforeCompletion()The  beforeCompletionmethod notifies a stateful session bean instance that
 a transaction is about to be committed. | 
void afterBegin()
         throws EJBException,
                java.rmi.RemoteException
afterBegin method notifies a stateful session bean instance that a new
 transaction has started, and that the subsequent business methods on the
 instance will be invoked in the context of the transaction.
 The instance can use this method, for example, to read data from a database and cache the data in the instance fields.
This method executes in the proper transaction context.

    signature to provide backward compatibility for enterprise beans 
    written for the enterprise bean 1.0 specification. Enterprise beans written 
    for the EJB 1.1 and later specifications should throw the
    javax.ejb.EJBException instead of this exception.

                      java.rmi.RemoteException
beforeCompletion method notifies a stateful session bean instance that
 a transaction is about to be committed. The instance can use this
 method, for example, to write any cached data to a database.
 This method executes in the proper transaction context.
Note: The instance may still cause the container to
 rollback the transaction by invoking the setRollbackOnly method
 on the session context, or by throwing an exception.

afterCompletion method notifies a stateful session bean instance that a
 transaction commit protocol has completed, and tells the instance
 whether the transaction has been committed or rolled back.
 This method executes with no transaction context.
