Observer questions

Rails
1

Hi,
Re Rails observers, (i.e.
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Observer.html ), can
anyone
clarify:

Question - Does the call back for a registered observer occur AFTER or
BEFORE the database transaction has completed? (e.g. if I issued a
manual
rollback call in an observer callback method would it work or be too
late to
trigger the rollback)

it depends on the specific callback in question. the list of available
callbacks can be found here:

thanks - I see even the last one in time, “after_save” says “Note that
this
callback is still wrapped in the transaction around save”, so based on
this
it should be always possible to issue a manual rollback call in an
observer
callback method and have it work
