I think we can keep open transaction tracking only inside transactions
subsystem while we are not shutting down, and then we can enroll for
notification of open active transactions only on suspend if needed...
IMHO that's as clean as we can get regarding shutdown code when the
server is in running state.
I would go with some sort of ActiveTransactionListener, that would be
notified of no more active transactions only if the listener is set?
Something along the lines below at ejb side:
ServerActivityCallback callback = null;
public void suspend(ServerActivityCallback callback) {
if ( transactionSubsystem.getActiveTransactions() > 0) {
transactionSubsystem.setActiveTransactionsListener(this);
}
else {
callback.done(); // done suspending
}
}
// listener method
public void noMoreActiveTransactions() {
callback.done(); // done suspending
// then we let control point notify clients that this node is no
longer available
...
}
At transactions side:
ActiveTransactionListener listener = null;
private void incrementTxnCount() {
...
}
private void decrementTxnCount() {
if (txnCountUpdater.decrementAndGet() == 0 && listener != null)
listener.noMoreActiveTransactions();
}
public int getActiveTransactions() {
return txnCountUpdater.get();
}

No, that still has to be handled at an EJB subsystem level.
Conceptually this is similar to what was done for the XTS subsytem, so
it should probably use a similar design. Ideally while the server is
in the running state the only graceful related code that is run is the
control point request tracking, however this may not be possible.
One other thing that came up on our hipchat discussion yesterday is TX
level graceful shutdown actually has some significant drawbacks, as
you cannot send out the module unavailability message until all the
transactions have been closed. This means that while we are waiting
for transactions to complete the node will still be part of a cluster,
and clients will send it requests that will be immediately rejected.
