[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-5850) Tx sticky lbp issue with shutdown nodes

Tx sticky lbp issue with shutdown nodes --------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5850 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5850 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Clustering Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR1, JBossAS-4.2.3.GA Reporter: Galder Zamarreno Assignee: Galder Zamarreno Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR2, JBossAS-4.2.4.GA When using transaction sticky load balance policies, before making an invocation, we check whether there's a sticky target in the tx failover authorisation map and if there is, we add it to the transient payload. The sticky lbps then check that sticky target and if available in the cluster, they use it. However, if there's a sticky target was set but it's not available, we chose a new target when indeed we should fail cos the transaction already reached the server (if it hadn't reached a server yet, there're wouldn't be a sticky target at all). I can see this causing issues when shutting down a node that was being used in a transaction. The problem is that the node shutdown will be chosen as sticky target but as it's not available, so it choses a a brand new one. It should have instead failed.
