[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Transaction Services] - Re: JBossTS Tx timeout (with CMT beans)

[mark.little@jboss.com]

You need to remember that these are not hard real-time deadlines. All the specification says is that if the transaction hasn't rolled back by the time the time-out goes off, it'll be rolled back automatically. But it doesn't say that a transaction will be rolled back immediately. There are trade-offs to be made: immediacy can imply more overhead, whereas "sometime afterwards" may mean you don't see the timeout happen for a while, but there's less overhead. That's why we support a couple of modes, to give flexibility.
