Transaction propagation to a JMS QueueSender not occuring for CMT ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5625 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5625 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EJB Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP) Reporter: Doug Grove Assignee: jaikiran pai This behavior is similiar to AS7-3016. That case involves UserTransactions, where this involves the SessionContext and container managed transactions. In the code below: @Stateless @LocalBean public class SenderBean { private @Resource(mappedName= "java:/JmsXA") ConnectionFactory connectionFactory; private @Resource(mappedName = "java:/queue/events") Queue queue; private QueueConnection connection; private QueueSession session; private QueueSender sender = null; @PostConstruct protected void initBean() throws JMSException { Logger.getLogger(SenderBean.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "Entering/Exiting initBean"); QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory)connectionFactory; connection = qcf.createQueueConnection(); session = connection.createQueueSession(true, 0); // sender = session.createSender(queue); } @PreDestroy protected void disposeBean() { Logger.getLogger(SenderBean.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "Entering/Exiting dispose"); try { sender.close(); session.close(); connection.close(); } catch (JMSException ex) { Logger.getLogger(SenderBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } } @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) public void sendMessage() throws JMSException { Logger.getLogger(SenderBean.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "Entering/Exiting sendMessage"); if (sender == null) sender = session.createSender(queue); ObjectMessage msg = session.createObjectMessage("testMsg"); sender.send(msg); } } If "sender" is initialized in the initBean(), then a transaction does not propagate down into the sender.send(). If "sender" is initialized in the sendMessage() method, than a transaction is available. Also note that I moved: @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) to the class level and the problem persisted.
