[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4481) Transaction timeouts leave garbage Status.ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction object bound to the thread

Adrian Brock commented on JBAS-4481:
------------------------------------

Jonathon I just raised a subtask for the CachedConnectionValve and ejb BMT interceptor.
This is the real issue.

It is still really an application error to not invoke ut.rollback() or ut.commit() after a ut.begin()
the purpose of those two interceptors is to trap when the application fails.

P.S. Why are we using JIRA as a forum? It's just noise and "garbage" itself.
This whole bout of speculation should really have done in the forums and  then the subtask
(not this task) raised to fix the problem.

> If a transaction timeout occurs, the UserTransaction object does not get cleaned up from the thread, even after the request ends and the thread returns to the pool. Future requests will not be able to begin() a transaction, since the STATUS_ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction throws this exception:
> Caused by: javax.transaction.NotSupportedException
> 	at com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction.begin(BaseTransaction.java:79)
> 	at com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.begin(BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.java:77)
> 	at org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ServerVMClientUserTransaction.begin(ServerVMClientUserTransaction.java:124)
> 	at org.jboss.seam.transaction.UTTransaction.begin(UTTransaction.java:29)
> This means that any transaction timeout that occurs will leave the application server in a permanently broken state and require a server restart. Hence 4.2.0.GA is currently unusable in production!
> This needs to be fixed in an immediate patch release.
