JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "feedback on JBAS-7195 (WrappedConnection.checkTransactionStatus throws exception when transaction is marked for roll back)": http://community.jboss.org/message/527970#527970 Author : Adrian Brock Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/adrian@jboss.org Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think you'll break anything, but you'll lose the early notification of the failure. i.e. in a lot of cases you'll be doing useless work which won't fail until it becomes time to commit/rollback. That's cpu and resources that could be used by something else.   Perhaps you could make it an option in the -ds.xml instead?   The check was added to avoid sql operations leaking into the next transaction because of a race with the tx timeout. This won't happen if the transaction is just MARKED rolled back only. The transaction hasn't completed yet.   See JBAS-5080, the race goes something like:   a) Thread 1: start running a query b) Thread 2: timeout -> roll back transaction, which ends the local jdbc transaction c) Thread 1: original query now reaches the real connection which is in a new local jdbc transaction as far as the jdbc driver is concerned   (b) hasn't happened if the JTA transactions is marked rolled back only -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/527970#527970
