Participants should not be told to compensate after completion -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2977 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2977 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: LRA Affects Versions: 5.7.1.Final Reporter: Nicola Ferraro Assignee: Michael Musgrove Fix For: 5.next When a LRA is closed the coordinator behaves incorrectly if a participant is slow to respond. While the call to "/complete" is still ongoing, the coordinator (recovery module) may issue a second call to "/compensate", making it impossible for the participant to determine when a LRA is really closed. The LRA coordinator must choose a single outcome for the LRA and be consistent with that (retrying until all participants are in status complete/failedtocomplete in this case). A second minor problem is that the call to "/close" is synchronous, and the caller is kept attached forever if the participant does not respond to "/complete". It would be better to establish a timeout and return a "Completing" status if not all participant are done in time. I attach few simple steps to reproduce it with shell commands.
