The current approach introduces the possibility of deadlocks. In addition, there is no way to specify the timeout of the SET_VERSION transaction. Solution: Modify the existing setVersion API to include an IDBTransactionCallback parameter together with a timeout value parameter. IDBTransactionSync setVersion ([TreatNullAs=EmptyString] in DOMString version, in IDBTransactionCallback callback, in optional unsigned long timeout); Parameter #2: * callback Description * Defines the method in which a VERSION_CHANGE transaction will be valid. Parameter #3: * timeout Description * Defines a transaction timeout value in milliseconds that will limit the lifetime of the VERSION_CHANGE transaction. If the parameter is not provide, the timeout value will be infinite. 47593 1 israelh 2011-04-21 23:40:27 +0000 Need to add new exceptions for the setVersion and transction methods on IDBatabaseSync interface: New setVersion Exception: * The setVersion method needs to throw IDBDatabaseException with a NOT_ALLOWED_ERR description when the setVersion method is called within the IDBTransactionCallback of a transaction method. New transaction Exception: * The transaction method needs throw IDBDatabaseException with a NOT_ALLOWED_ERR description when the transaction method is called within the IDBTransactionCallback of a setVersion method. 47601 2 eliotgra 2011-04-22 03:57:04 +0000 The changes described above have been added to the speclets.
