A LocalTransactionException represents various error conditions related to the local transaction management contract. The Java Transaction API specification specifies the javax.transaction.xa.XAException class for exceptions related to XAResource based transaction management contract.

The LocalTransactionException is used for the local transaction management contract to indicate the following common error conditions:

• Invalid transaction context when a transaction operation is executed. For example, calling commit method on LocalTransaction object without an active local transaction is an error condition.
• Transaction is rolled back instead of getting committed during a commit method call on the LocalTransaction object.
• An attempt to start a local transaction from the same thread on a ManagedConnection that is already associated with an active local transaction.
• Any resource adapter or resource manager specific error conditions related to local transaction management. Examples are violation of integrity of resources, deadlock detection, communication failure during transaction completion, retry required or any internal error in a resource manager.
