[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of the JBoss EJB Container] - Re: Message redelivery from non transacted MDBs

[weston.price@jboss.com]

Correct. 

Technically, there is nothing to *force* us to redeliver the message in the case of a non specified transaction context (ie BMT, CMT NotSupported). All specs are at best ambiguous, and at worst, completely ingnorant of this subject. However, a customer requirement (not supported by me mind you) came up and this *feature* was added to the JCA adapter. This change initially was added in HEAD and then aggressively, and stupidly might I add, backported to multiple branches on the 4.x line. 

After the dust cleared I went back in HEAD and reworked some of it to be more performant and easier to understand. I haven't backported these changes yet. 

So, the long and short of it:

If you want redelivery in the case of BMT, CMT NotSupported you 

a) Have to use JCA
b) Are encouraged, if at all possible, to use the current implementation in HEAD.
