[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Tom Jenkinson commented on JBTM-1556: ------------------------------------- Perhaps we could add an SPI method: org.jboss.tm.TxUtils::isTimeoutBeingProcessedByTransactionManagerThread() The implementation for Narayana could then be to just check the thread name as you currently do, but it would allow us to alter it in the future if necessary without changing your code. If you both agree, I will ask Mike to add this to the Narayana SPI. Also, please have a think if you agree with the signature: public boolean org.jboss.tm.TxUtils::isTimeoutBeingProcessedByTransactionManagerThread () returns false if the call is issued when the current transaction is not rolling back due to timeout or the thread that is performing the rollback was not created by the transaction manager. returns true if the current thread was one created by the transaction manager AND it is processing a timeout scenario Its quite a niche method but it decouples you from internal Narayana code and moves you to the SPI -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
