It's not possible to combine start and end flags in call of XATerminator.recover --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2906 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2906 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: JCA Affects Versions: 5.6.1.Final Reporter: Ondra Chaloupka Priority: Minor Current implementation of {{XATerminator.recover}} (either for JTA or JTS) does not permit combining flags to use. https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/blob/5.6.1.Final/ArjunaJTA/jta/classe... https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/blob/5.6.1.Final/ArjunaJTS/jtax/class... Flags are expected to be combined as their values are designed to use bitwise operators. Especially {{|}} is handy for starting and ending the recover scan in once. Currently we need to call {code} XATerminator.recover(XAResource.TMSTARTRSCAN); XATerminator.recover(XAResource.TMENDRSCAN); {code} Values are {code} XAResource.TMSTARTRSCAN : 16777216 : 1000000000000000000000000 XAResource.TMENDRSCAN : 8388608 : 100000000000000000000000 {code} The way would be ability to call the {{recover}} like this {code} XATerminator.recover(XAResource.TMSTARTRSCAN | XAResource.TMENDRSCAN); {code}
