Gavin King commented on JBAS-4481:
----------------------------------
I should have added:
(5) Nobody ever tests what happens to their application when a deadlock or other
transaction timeout occurs. They find out when their system is under heavy production
load.
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: Gavin King
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.1.CR1
Attachments: test4481.tar
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.
