Tx sticky lbp issue with shutdown nodes
---------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-5850
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5850
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Clustering
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA, JBossAS-5.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Galder Zamarreno
            Assignee: Galder Zamarreno


When using transaction sticky load balance policies, before making an 
invocation, we check whether there's a sticky target in the tx failover 
authorisation map and if there is, we add it to the transient payload.

The sticky lbps then check that sticky target and if available in the cluster, 
they use it. However, if there's a sticky target was set but it's not available,
we chose a new target when indeed we should fail cos the transaction 
already reached the server (if it hadn't reached a server yet, there're 
wouldn't  be a sticky target at all).

I can see this causing issues when shutting down a node that was being 
used in a transaction. The problem is that the node shutdown will be chosen 
as sticky target but as it's not available, so it choses a a brand new one. It 
should have instead failed.
