UserTransaction.rollback() must not throw IllegalStateException if getStatus()==STATUS_ROLLEDBACK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6663 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6663 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Transaction Manager (Arjuna) Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA Reporter: Jörg von Frantzius Assignee: Jonathan Halliday When a timeout has occurred, UserTransaction.getStatus() returns STATUS_ROLLEDBACK. Calling UserTransaction.rollback() at this point will throw the following IllegalStateException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.inactive] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.inactive] The transaction is not active! at com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.TransactionImple.rollbackAndDisassociate(TransactionImple.java:1473) at com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction.rollback(BaseTransaction.java:163) at com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.rollback(BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.java:126) at org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ServerVMClientUserTransaction.rollback(ServerVMClientUserTransaction.java:148) The JTA specification says about when UserTransaction.rollback() may throw IllegalStateException: "IllegalStateException Thrown if the current thread is not associated with a transaction." Since getStatus() does return STATUS_ROLLEDBACK (and *not* STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION), the thread obviously still is associated with a transaction. Apart from breaking the JTA contract, this effectively renders the UserTransaction useless since begin() will also throw exception. -- 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
