Hi, Kevin. Thank you for your reply. This is a problem of connection pooling, not of transaction.
public void testConnection() { Connection con = dataSource.getConnection(); // get a connection from pool (If DB server restarted, invalid connection will be returned) boolean valid = true; try { // execute some DMLs... con.commit(); } catch (SQLException e) { try { con.rollback(); } catch (SQLException e) { valid = false; // UNREACHABLE } } finally { if (valid) { con.close(); // Connection#close() doesn't close connection in reality in connection pooling mechanism. It simply returns the connection to pool. } } } Because rollback() throws no exception when physical connection has been closed, I cannot know whether rollback was successfully completed. In general, if rollback() throws NO exception, it must be a success. (Success means rollback process is executed, and ended successfully. This represents that connection could access to server.) I think if physical connection has closed, Connection's method should fail and throws Exception. Other JDBC Drivers (like Oracle) throws Exception when Connection's method (rollback, prepareStatement, etc.) was called and physical connection had been closed.
