Description

in the JDO2-final spec 13.4.5
<spec>
Once a transaction has been marked for rollback via setRollbackOnly, the
commit method will always fail with JDOFatalDataStoreException. The JDO
implementation must not try to make any changes to the database during commit
when the transaction has been marked for rollback.
</spec>

whereas in the javadocs for javax.jdo.Transaction "setRollbackOnly" we have
"Sets the rollback-only status of the transaction to <code>true</code>. After
this flag is set to <code>true</code>, the transaction can no longer be
committed, and any attempt to commit the transaction will throw
<code>JDOUserException<code>."

So which exception should be thrown here ... JDOFatalDataStoreException or
JDOUserException ?
