If current transaction has been canceled, skip the following process till the end. This solution should be safe in only database operating situation, meanwhile there still has a drawback for this solution.  Please look at the following situation. 1) The some operations to a share resource which is not rollbackable, such as writing strings to a file in this transaction. 2) Redelivery Delay is 0 and Max Delivery Attempts more than 1 Once the transaction timeout, JMS will redeliver the message, but the previous message still on processing which is writing strings to a file. At this time, the file is operating by 2 threads and this may cause error. So it should be considered how to handle the resource conflict in this case. Am I missing sth? please comment. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/729820#729820] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
