Delaying sending of mail until transaction commits

Question

Does anyone have a good tutorial or some advice on how to implement one\'s own XAResource? I need Spring\'s MailSender to be transactional, so that the mail will only be sent on

Answer 1

One other option next to the one mentioned by gpeche, is sending a transactional JMS message from within the transaction. Then let the message listener (like e.g. a MDB bean) send the email.

Another trick in EJB is scheduling a timer from within a transaction. The timer is also transactional and will only be started when the transaction commits. Simply use a timer with timeout = 0, so it will start immediately after the transaction commits.
