Normally when a JE transaction is blocked on a lock request, it must wait until the requested lock becomes available before its thread-of-control can proceed. However, it is possible to configure a transaction handle such that it will report a deadlock rather than wait for the block to clear.
You do this on a transaction by transaction basis by specifying true to the TransactionConfig.setNoWait() method.
For example:
Transaction txn = null; try { TransactionConfig tc = new TransactionConfig(); tc.setNoWait(true); txn = myEnv.beginTransaction(null, tc); ... } catch (DatabaseException de) { // Deadlock detection and exception handling omitted // for brevity ...
