Cluster node shutdown thats allow ongoing transactions to finish gracefully --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-1750 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1750 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Clustering Reporter: Galder Zamarreno Extend EJBTHREE-1116 so that in-flight transactions, specially those initiated remotely, are allowed to finish and no new transactions are allowed. EJBTHREE-1116 just blocks the shutdown until in-flight *invocations* complete, not until *transactions* complete. So a tx that's initiated on the client side that spans multiple invocations can see the node disappear in the middle. Our clustered EJB proxies don't allow failover in the middle of a transaction, so that means the client sees a failure. EJBTHREE-1116, consider the following session bean method: @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW) public void addUser(User user) { em.persist(user); } If the node is shutdown after a client has called addUser(), the transaction will indeed complete before the shutdown commences, but only as a side effect of waiting for the invocation to complete - the BlockContainerShutdownInterceptor sits in the front of the interceptor chain. Subsequent requests to addUser(...) (i.e. new transactions) will fail once shutdown is initiated. EJBTHREE-1116 doesn't cover transactions initiated from the client - nor invocations from one ejb to another (e.g. if addUser() tries to invoke a method on another ejb after shutdown is initiated). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
