Interceptor.afterTransactionCompletion not called with JTATransaction (CacheSynchronization.hibernateTransaction not set) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1956 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1956 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1.2 Environment: JBoss 4.0.3SP1 under Windows XP Reporter: Eric Sword Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.2.6, 3.3 interceptor.afterTransactionCompletion should be invoked in SessionImpl.afterTransactionCompletion, but it is only called if the tx parameter is not null. When running under a JTA environment, that parameter will always be null. This is the stack which leads to the call (line numbers are from v3.1.2 code): org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.afterTransactionCompletion(boolean, org.hibernate.Transaction) line: 442 org.hibernate.jdbc.JDBCContext.afterTransactionCompletion(boolean, org.hibernate.Transaction) line: 205 org.hibernate.transaction.CacheSynchronization.afterCompletion(int) line: 85 org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.doAfterCompletion() line: 1508 org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.completeTransaction() line: 1180 org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.commit() line: 359 org.jboss.tm.TxManager.commit() line: 224 org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ServerVMClientUserTransaction.commit() line: 126 org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransaction.commit() line: 146 The problem is that the hibernateTransaction member variable of the CacheSynchronization object is never set. Here is the call stack for how that object is created: org.hibernate.transaction.CacheSynchronization.<init>(org.hibernate.transaction.TransactionFactory$Context, org.hibernate.jdbc.JDBCContext, javax.transaction.Transaction, org.hibernate.Transaction) line: 34 org.hibernate.jdbc.JDBCContext.registerSynchronizationIfPossible() line: 149 org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransaction.begin() line: 102 org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.beginTransaction() line: 1309 com.osc.util.hibernate.HibernateManager.getSession(org.hibernate.Interceptor) line: 204 You can see in the JDBCContext.registerSynchronizationIfPossible() method that the parameter to set the transaction is always null, even though the JDBCContext object does have a reference to the hibernateTransaction at that point. The CacheSynchronization only uses that reference for beforeTransactionCompletion and afterTransactionCompletion calls. The beforeTransactionCompletion works because the SessionImpl.beforeTransactionCompletion call doesn't check if the tx is null, while the afterTransactionCompletion does.
