Saving to database and properties file in same transaction

[sangram mhatre]

I am using JPA(Hibernate implementation) to store entities in database .

I have a scenario wherein i need to save values to database and also some part of it to
a properties file(maintain preferences for some component). I am using commons configuration
for this .

I want that the transaction consists of both the saves to database and properties file as well .
There is a method in PropertiesConfiguration(commons config object) , save , what i want is
Spring to either call commit on connection and save on PropertiesConfiguration both or none .

How can this be achieved ?

Thanks in advance .

Not possible because there is no resource manager for properties file.
You may add an advice when transaction rolled back to roll back file changes.
