Timer.cancel in a transaction never calls TimerImpl.killTimer ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-1690 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1690 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Scheduling/Timers Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.1 SP1 Reporter: ?ystein Hansen Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta1, JBossAS-4.0.4RC1 Attachments: TimerTestBean.java, TimerTestClient.java Calling Timer.cancel in a Transaction does not delete the timer. The Timer is marked as CANCELED if transaction is commited, thus ejbTimeout is not called. However - the TimerImpl.TimerTask.run does nothing if Timer.isActive is false. Proposed solution: Either call killTimer in TimerTask.run, or treat CANCELED and EXPIRED the same way. See JBoss Forum for source code (SessionBean+UnitTest) to reproduce the problem
