## Interface TransactionWriter

- All Superinterfaces:
    CacheCallback, Declarable

      public interface TransactionWriter
      extends CacheCallback

  A callback that is allowed to veto a transaction. Only one TransactionWriter can exist per cache, and only one TransactionWriter will be fired in the entire distributed system for each transaction. This writer can be used to update a backend data source before the GemFire cache is updated during commit. If the backend update fails, the implementer can throw a `TransactionWriterException` to veto the transaction.
  Since:
    GemFire 6.5

    `CacheTransactionManager.setWriter(org.apache.geode.cache.TransactionWriter)`
