[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-12337) Wildfly Transaction REQUIRES_NEW not working

Wildfly Transaction REQUIRES_NEW not working -------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-12337 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-12337 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: JCA, Transactions Affects Versions: 16.0.0.Final Reporter: Hao Chen Assignee: Thomas Jenkinson Priority: Major We recently upgraded from jboss-eap-6.4 to Wildfly 16. Most things worked fine until we find one issue in the case that a method that is called using TransactionTemplate with TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW is not working... The case is that: we use this PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW transaction to commit a log of login failure, while the main transaction is rolled back due login exception. This used to work without problem in jboss-eap-6.4 though we were seeing warnings like: Trying to change transaction TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: 0:ffff0a004b01:513406f2:5d37ce0b:2a0 status: ActionStatus.RUNNING > in enlist! But in Wildfly 16 PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW doesn't work any more -- the new transaction seems to rolled back together with the main transaction. After spending quite some time debugging into the Wildfly/Jboss code, I found that in org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.listener.TxConnectionListener.enlist method, there is a new line: if (isEnlisted() || getState().equals(ConnectionState.DESTROY) || getState().equals(ConnectionState.DESTROYED)) return; And in our case, the TxConnectionListener object is the same in the new transaction as in the old transaction, so it's already marked as "enlisted". And therefore the rest of enlist is never executed for the new transaction, so Wildfly never issued a "XA Start" command for the new transaction. So the question is: is the added isEnlisted() check a bug introduced or there is something wrong we did to configure Wildfly and/or Spring? How should the REUIRES_NEW case work? Here is a trace except I captured: TransactionTemplate.execute(TransactionCallback<T>) line: 130 JtaTransactionManager(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager).getTransaction(TransactionDefinition) line: 353 JtaTransactionManager(AbstractPlatformTransactionManager).handleExistingTransaction(TransactionDefinition, Object, boolean) line: 433 JtaTransactionManager.doBegin(Object, TransactionDefinition) line: 831 JtaTransactionManager.doJtaBegin(JtaTransactionObject, TransactionDefinition) line: 872 LocalUserTransaction.begin() line: 48 ContextTransactionManager.begin(CreationListener$CreatedBy) line: 62 LocalTransactionContext.beginTransaction(int, boolean, CreationListener$CreatedBy) line: 188 JBossJTALocalTransactionProvider(JBossLocalTransactionProvider).createNewTransaction(int) ...
