I'm learning Java, and am an absolute beginner (page 243 Head First Java), but was wondering about the following:

1) How does Java deal with Commit and Rollback situations during transaction processing?

2) Are there any reserved words to that effect?

Thank you for your time

Java doesn't deal with commit, nor with rollback. That is done by the database program. The keywords are "commit" and "rollback" but they are both SQL keywords, not Java keywords.

This thread would sit better on the JDBC forum, so I shall move it.

Fantine,
There are methods with those names in Java. If you decide to handle transactions explicitly, you can choose to commit or rollback.

Thank you Jeanne.

As a matter of interest, which class(es) do those methods belong to? Are they in the Java API?

I would try to test it now if I were further advanced in my Java studies, but will have to wait until i know a few more things. I have not learnt how to call SQL in Java yet, nor do I know how to read a file or write to a file yet.

It actually isn't important for me to know the answers, as I said before, I was just curious to see how Java programming handles commit and rollback.

In the context of JDBC thay are methods on the Connection class.

I'm not sure you have seen this yet, but if you have a method name and you want to find out what class it belongs to, have a look at the index that JavaDoc tool produces.
