@NotMutable @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE) public final class TransactionSpecificationRequestControl extends Control
This class provides an implementation of the transaction specification request control as defined in RFC 5805. It may be used to indicate that the associated add, delete, modify, modify DN, or password modify operation is part of an LDAP transaction. The transaction should be created with the start transaction extended operation, which will obtain a transaction ID, and the transaction may be committed or aborted using the end transaction extended operation.

Note that directory servers may limit the set of controls that are available for use in requests that are part of a transaction. RFC 5805 section 4 indicates that the following controls may be used in conjunction with the transaction specification request control: AssertionRequestControl, ManageDsaITRequestControl, PreReadRequestControl, and PostReadRequestControl. The ProxiedAuthorizationV1RequestControl and ProxiedAuthorizationV2RequestControl controls cannot be included in requests that are part of a transaction, but you can include them in the StartTransactionExtendedRequest to indicate that all operations within the transaction should be processed with the specified authorization identity.

The Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products support the following additional UnboundID-specific controls in conjunction with operations included in a transaction: account usable request control, DraftBeheraLDAPPasswordPolicy10RequestControl, hard delete request control, intermediate client request control, replication repair request control, soft delete request control, soft deleted entry access request control, SubtreeDeleteRequestControl, and undelete request control.

See the documentation for the StartTransactionExtendedRequest class for an example of processing an LDAP transaction.
