Work around for JacORB persistent POA bug ----------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-69 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-69 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JTS Affects Versions: 4.2, 4.2.1 Reporter: Mark Little Assignee: Mark Little Priority: Minor In order to perform recovery in the JTS, we use a persistent IOR reference for the transaction coordinator. Unfortunately there is a bug in JacORB (http://www.jacorb.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=473) which affects our implementation in a distributed setting. All persistent POAs are named in JacORB using: # the implementation name, should be set to a different # name in the code of persistent servers jacorb.implname=StandardImplName The bug is that, even if an IOR is obviously from a remote machine, if the implementation name that is embedded in the IOR matches that of the implementation name of the node on which it is being used, JacORB interprets the call as a local invocation! We can code around this bug by embedding a unique implementation name in each IOR. In the meantime, we will need to document this and inform all users to deploy with unique implementation names in their jacorb.properties files.
