[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4481) Transaction timeouts leave garbage Status.ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction object bound to the thread
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4481?page=comments#action_12365171 ]
Mark Little commented on JBAS-4481:
-----------------------------------
I just took a quick look at the old JBossTM code and it seems not to change the
thread-to-transaction association when it times out a transaction. However, it does change
it in a lot of other places that are entirely non-standard, e.g., in a call to getStatus.
The spec is pretty clear on this aspect:
public int getStatus() throws SystemException
Obtain the status of the transaction associated with the current thread.
Returns:
The transaction status. If no transaction is associated with the current thread, this
method returns
the Status.STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION value.
Throws:SystemException
Thrown if the transaction manager encounters an unexpected error condition.
So no change on the transaction association just because you call getStatus. I mention
this because that may be something you were relying on?
Transaction timeouts leave garbage Status.ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction
object bound to the thread

Key: JBAS-4481
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4481
Project: JBoss Application Server
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: Transaction Manager
Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.0.GA
Reporter: Gavin King
Assigned To: Jonathan Halliday
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.1.CR1
If a transaction timeout occurs, the UserTransaction object does not get cleaned up from
the thread, even after the request ends and the thread returns to the pool. Future
requests will not be able to begin() a transaction, since the STATUS_ROLLEDBACK
UserTransaction throws this exception:
Caused by: javax.transaction.NotSupportedException
at
com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction.begin(BaseTransaction.java:79)
at
com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.begin(BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.java:77)
at
org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ServerVMClientUserTransaction.begin(ServerVMClientUserTransaction.java:124)
at org.jboss.seam.transaction.UTTransaction.begin(UTTransaction.java:29)
This means that any transaction timeout that occurs will leave the application server in
a permanently broken state and require a server restart. Hence 4.2.0.GA is currently
unusable in production!
This needs to be fixed in an immediate patch release.
