Use this feature when you want to: - Publish a message as part of a transaction When you use the **Publish** operation, the application sends the message to the destination after the transaction occurs. If for some reason the transaction fails and a rollback occurs, the message is not sent. - Consume a message as part of a transaction When you use either the **On New Message** source or the **Consume** operation, the message is acknowledged only after the transaction occurs. If the transaction rolls back, the message returns to the destination for redelivery. Anypoint Connector for JMS (JMS Connector) provides support for executing the operations by configuring the **Transactional action** field. ## Configure Transactions for Sources If you want the **On New Message** source to use a transactional action when sending the messages, configure the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_BEGIN`. With this configuration, each new message is processed in a transaction that propagates to all the components in the flow and occurs after the flow execution completes successfully. The transaction rolls back if the flow execution returns an error. By default, other components in the flow do not join the transaction created by the **On New Message** source. To execute other operations using the source transaction, configure in those components the **Transactional action** field either with `ALWAYS_JOIN` or `JOIN_IF_POSSIBLE`. In the following example, you configure the transactional action for new messages: 1. In Studio, select the **On New Message** source from your flow. 2. Set the **Destination** field to `${originQueue}`. 3. In the **Advanced** tab, set the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_BEGIN`. ![In the Advanced tab](/mulesoft/current/en-us/jms-connector/1.10/_images/jms-transaction-1.png) Figure 1. JMS Connector Transactional action configuration In the XML editor, the `` and `transactionalAction` configurations look like this: ```xml ``` ## Configure Transactions for Operations To execute an operation like **Publish** or **Consume** as part of a transaction, configure the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_JOIN` or `JOIN_IF_POSSIBLE`. In the following example, you configure the **Publish** and **Consume** operations that join a transaction initiated by the **On New Message** source: 1. In the **Mule Palette** view, select **JMS > On New Message**. 2. Drag **On New Message** onto the Studio canvas. 3. In the **On New Message** configuration screen, set the **Destination** field to `${originQueue}`. 4. In the **Advanced** tab, set the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_BEGIN`. 5. Drag a **Publish** operation to the right of the **On New Message** source. 6. Set the **Destination** field to `#[attributes.properties.userProperties.redirectDestination]`. 7. In the **Advanced** tab, set the **Transactional action** field to `JOIN_IF_POSSIBLE`. 8. Drag a **Consume** operation to the right of the **Publish** operation. 9. Set the **Destination** field to `#[attributes.properties.userProperties.callbackDestination]`. 10. In the **Advanced** tab, set the **Transactional action** field to `JOIN_IF_POSSIBLE`. ![In the Advanced tab](/mulesoft/current/en-us/jms-connector/1.10/_images/jms-transaction-2.png) Figure 2. JMS Connector Transactional action configuration for Consume operation In the XML editor, the `transactionalAction` configuration looks like this: ```xml ``` In the following example, you configure a scoped transaction, using a Try scope component, the JMS **Publish** and **Publish consume** operations, and the Validation module **Is true** operation: 1. In the **Mule Palette** view, select **HTTP > Listener**. 2. Drag **Listener** onto the Studio canvas. 3. In the **Listener** configuration screen, set the **Path** field to `/orders`. 4. Drag a **Try** scope component to the right of the **Listener** source. 5. Set the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_BEGIN`. 6. Drag a JMS **Publish** operation into the **Try** scope component. 7. Set the **Destination** field to `${billingService}` and the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_JOIN`. 8. Drag a JMS **Publish** operation to the right of the first **Publish** operation. 9. Set the **Destination** field to `${shipmentService}` and the **Transactional action** field to `ALWAYS_JOIN`. 10. Drag a **Publish consume** operation to the right of the second **Publish** operation. 11. Set the **Destination** field to `${invoicesVerificationService}`. 12. Drag a Validation module **Is true** operation to the right of the **Publish consume** operation. 13. Select **Expression** for the **Expression** menu and set the value to `#[payload]`. In the XML editor, the `transactionalAction` configuration look like this: ```xml ``` ## See Also - [JMS Connector Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/jms-connector/1.10/jms-examples) - [JMS Connector Reference](https://docs.mulesoft.com/jms-connector/1.10/jms-connector-reference)
