Transaction rollback on SQLException using new try-with-resources block

Question

I have a problem with try-with-resources and I am asking just to be sure. Can I use it, if I need to react on exception, and I still need the resource in catch block? Exampl

Answer 1

You can assign try block "con" reference to another method reference "connection".

java.sql.Connection connection = null;
try (java.sql.Connection con = createConnection())
{
    connection  = con;
    con.setAutoCommit(false);
    Statement stm = con.createStatement();
    stm.execute(someQuery); // causes SQLException
}
catch(SQLException ex)
{
    connection.rollback();
    // do other stuff
}
