If an XASession, created from an XAConnection does some work in a global transaction, the transaction gets prepared, then the connection gets explicitly closed (invoke of close()) before the transaction has been committed or rolled back by the transaction manager, what is the correct behaviour? Should the messaging resource manager, locally roll back (remove) the prepared state for that connection? Or it should it retain it, in the hope that the transaction manager will eventually call rollback or commit by obtaining an xaresource by recover() for instance?
