[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (JBCACHE-1167) Heuristic outcome (STATUS_UNKNOWN) of transaction not handled properly

Heuristic outcome (STATUS_UNKNOWN) of transaction not handled properly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCACHE-1167 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1167 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 1.4.1.SP4, 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Galder Zamarreno Assigned To: Manik Surtani Fix For: 1.4.1.SP5, 2.1.0.GA Where an XA transaction has a heuristic outcome, the status reported to the afterCompletion synchronization is STATUS_UNKNOWN (5), since JTA does not handle heuristics. In this case, the cache Synchronization fails to rollback the cache tx. This leaves the app server in a bad (i.e. locked) state even though the XA transaction has been resolved. At first glance it looks like the afterCompletion synchronization should treat a STATUS_UNKNOWN as a cause for rollback as well as logging the error as they currently do. Unfortunately the fix may be more complex than that, since the db may have committed rather than rolled back, meaning the cache would be out of sync with the db if you rolled it back.
