have Java/HIbernate apps. When run in Eclipse/JAR file with this, it works fine. public void saveToDatabase() throws Exception | { | Transaction txReporting = null; | try{ | txReporting = sesReporting.beginTransaction(); | ... | txReporting.commit(); | } catch (Exception e) { | if (txReporting != null) { | // Something went wrong; discard all partial changes | txReporting.rollback(); | // nested try-catch loop to catch all errors | try{ | // for logging purpose | txReporting = sesReporting.beginTransaction(); | ... | txReporting.commit(); | } catch (Exception ex) { | throw ex; | } | } | throw e; | } | } But when I throw this into JBoss, I hit: anonymous wrote : 2008-07-23 17:46:04,291 DEBUG [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] Cannot open connection [???] | org.jboss.util.NestedSQLException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: acc550a:c94:4886fda0:41 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >; - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: acc550a:c94:4886fda0:41 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >) | ... | Caused by: javax.resource.ResourceException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: acc550a:c94:4886fda0:41 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY > | at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.TxConnectionManager.getManagedConnection(TxConnectionManager.java:304) | at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.BaseConnectionManager2.allocateConnection(BaseConnectionManager2.java:396) | at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.BaseConnectionManager2$ConnectionManagerProxy.allocateConnection(BaseConnectionManager2.java:842) | at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrapperDataSource.getConnection(WrapperDataSource.java:88) | ... 53 more | 2008-07-23 17:46:04,307 WARN [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] SQL Error: 0, SQLState: null | 2008-07-23 17:46:04,307 ERROR [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: acc550a:c94:4886fda0:41 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >; - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: Transaction is not active: tx=TransactionImple < ac, BasicAction: acc550a:c94:4886fda0:41 status: ActionStatus.ABORT_ONLY >) | 2008-07-23 17:46:04,307 ERROR [STDERR] org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection anyone? is this called "multiple one-phase" : http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Multiple1PC ? I thought using 2 separate transactions is required MSDTC (change <local-tx-datasource> to <xa-datasource>. )? when i do this in between code: txReporting.rollback(); | if(txReporting.wasRolledBack()) | System.out.printf("txReporting.wasRolledBack \n"); | if(txReporting.isActive()) | System.out.printf("txReporting.isActive \n"); It never show "txReporting.isActive" after txn.rolledback. But there's no option/method to set it to active? anyone? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4166281#...
