[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3898) Transaction not rolled back by Work if exception is thrown during UTTransaction.begin

Transaction not rolled back by Work if exception is thrown during UTTransaction.begin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3898 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3898 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Reporter: Clint Popetz Attachments: Work.java.diff The Work class doesn't rollback if an exception is thrown during UTTransaction.begin(), which can happen if getSynchronizations().afterTransactionBegin() dies. This can happen in an EJB3 environment, even though the method on EjbSynchronizations does nothing, because EjbSynchronizations is a SFSB, and for example there are classloading bugs for SFSBs in Quartz threads, which lead to spurious exceptions. When using jta, this means the tx for the async thread is left open, and eventually times out, but is never rolled back. When subsequent async jobs use that thread, all tx operations will fail because the tx exists but is aborted. I think that the try block should start before the call to begin().
