Direct recoverable connection is not serialized in object store to be "directly" recoverable -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2973 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2973 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: JTA Affects Versions: 5.7.1.Final Reporter: Ondra Chaloupka Assignee: Ondra Chaloupka Fix For: 5.7.2.Final On working with {{com.arjuna.ats.internal.jdbc.DirectRecoverableConnection}} I found out that state is not saved correctly for the connection could be restored from the object store and recovered. The issue happens to be in case the direct recoverable {{XAResource}} throws {{XAException.XAER_RMFAIL}} on commit. That means the resource is not ready to commit but recovery should retry. In case of the {{DirectRecoverableConnection}} the state should be serialized and then restored from object store and used for recovery. {{XAResourceRecord#prepare}} causes the connection ({{_recoveryObject}}) is saved under object store but then if fails on commit happens the {{XAResourceRecord#removeConnection}} is called where {{_recoveryObject}} is set to null and now the {{BasicAction#phase2Commit}} on call of {{updateState}} (call {{if (!save_state(state, ObjectType.ANDPERSISTENT))}}) tries to update state but the recovery object is already null and the old {{prepare}} version is overriden by {{commit}} one which has already removed information that the object is directly recoverable.
