I wonder if TMFAIL might be more appropriate for topLevelAbort? However, I open this as a point of discussion, rather than suggestion. In practical terms I suspect it won't make any difference to the RM. Also, your description in "Other Spec Changes" omits the fact that  com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.TransactionImple::rollback(), endSuspendedRMs() is also invoked. Near as I can work out though, endSuspendedRMs is almost superflous as topLevel* will end ASSOCIATION_SUSPENDED branches anyway? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/818520#818520] Start a new discussion in JBoss Transactions Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
