TestManagedConnection GlobalXID is broken
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-7495
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7495
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Test Suite
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-6.0.0.M1
            Reporter: Jonathan Halliday
            Assignee: Shelly McGowan
             Fix For: JBossAS-6.0.0.M2


org.jboss.test.jca.adapter.TestManagedConnection uses the GlobalXID class to wrap Xids. Setting aside that this is largely unnecessary abstraction, the implementation of GlobalXID is wrong. It converts a byte[] to a String, an activity which has undefined results where the byte[] contains arbitrary data that does not necessarily map to valid code points in the default charset.  In particular, it can cause non-equal Xids to result in equal GlobalXIDs, which breaks the test. Having all methods on GlobalXID delegate to a wrapped Xid is better, or just remove the GlobalXID abstraction completely.
