Rollback and Entity Transaction

Hi,

Is is good enough to just checking if an entity transaction is not equal to null in order to determine whether to rollback the entity transaction or not?

Reason being sometimes when I try to rollback, the et.rollback() throws exception of "Transaction is not active". So, I would like to avoid it.

Code:

if (et != null) {
            log.debug("Rolling back database transaction of this thread.");
            et.rollback();
} catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new InfrastructureException(ex);
}

Please advise.
