WRT JBCACHE-1167 I'm writing a test to create this situation

Sync is called with a STATUS_UKNOWN and I notice that the
OrderedSynchronizationHandler and DummyTransaction in JBoss Cache
swallow any exceptions in afterCompletion(), simply logging the outcome.
See
http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/JBossCache/core/tags/JBossCache_1_4_1_SP4...
Lines 269 - 274.
Makes unit testing pretty tough if the TM swallows the failure here. ;)
Jonathan, how does JBossTS behave (or how should any TM behave) at this
stage? I'm assuming keep the exception, set status to STATUS_UNKNOWN
for the remaining syncs, and then throw the exception?
If an afterCompletion throws an Exception the TS continues
regardless, since all Synchronizations should be invoked.
What the client sees is determined by the transaction
outcome, not the behaviour of the afterCompletion syncs. The
client will get an exception only if the beforeCompletion or
XARresources misbehave, not it the afterCompletions do.
