I think JMS hornetQ spawns a separate thread but it is joining the same XA transaction as the transaction attribute for my MDBs is MANDATORY.

You can't use MANDATORY transaction attribute for MDBs listener method. The spec says this:

{panel:title=Section 13.3.4 EJB 3.1 spec| borderStyle=dashed| borderColor=#ccc| titleBGColor=#F7D6C1| bgColor=#FFFFCE}
For a message-driven bean’s message listener methods (or interface), only the REQUIRED and NOT_SUPPORTED TransactionAttribute values may be used.
{panel}

I would have expected a deployment failure if you were using a MANDATORY tx attribute. Can you please post the relevant MDB code?

Keeping that aside, I wouldn't expect the MDB message listener method to join the same transaction that placed the data in the JMS destination. That's one of the reasons why I'm trying to understand how exactly you are ending up with this scenario. So a reproducible application/code would help.

> JBOSS7 server hangs up completely while trying to access a EJB2.1 entity bean method in a specific scenario.
> I am using a session facade pattern in which I call my EntityBean from a Stateless session bean. For moth the beans I have defined the transaction attribute as REQUIRED.
> On debugging the code I found that if the same Entity bean is accessed from two different threads in same transaction then this issue occurs.
> So for the first time my code enters "EntityBeanSynchronizationInterceptor" code is able to take the lock and assign the requester thread as the lock owner. When second time it comes to access the same entity bean from different thread in SAME TRANSACTION (as 2nd required results in joining the transaction), JBOSS7 server code completely stalls in taking the lock. Moreover this time requester thread is not given the owner status of the transaction. 
> Code snippet where code hangs:
>         final Object lockOwner = getLockOwner(transactionSynchronizationRegistry);
>         lock.pushOwner(lockOwner);
>         try {
>             lock.lock();  //line 80 in EntityBeanSynchronizationInterceptor
> and subsequently in:
>     public void lock() {
>         if (compareAndSetState(0, 1))
>             owner = currentRequestor();
>         else
>             acquire(1); //Here line 86 in OwnableReentrantLock
>     }
> This is a completely blocking issue for migrating my application from JBOSS6 to JBOSS7.
> I get this error in numerous places in my application code.
