JBoss TransactionManager throws a XAException exception with error code XAER_PROTO error while trying to commit a transaction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBTM-815
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-815
             Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
         Environment: JBoss EAP 4.3.GA.CP08
            Reporter: Tom Ross


It looks like the problem is in org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.commit().  This method checks the transaction's status, if it is STATUS_ACTIVE then it, in the case of an XA transaction, prepares the resources (sets status to STATUS_PREPARED) and then commits the resources.  During the commit for each of the resources the status is STATUS_COMMITTING.  It appears a time-out happens exactly at this point.  As the log shows:

  WARN [org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl] Transaction TransactionImpl:XidImpl[FormatId=257, GlobalId=doron/220, BranchQual=, localId=220] timed out. status=STATUS_COMMITING

On a transaction timeout when the transaction status is STATUS_COMMITING, org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.timedOut(Timeout timeout) sets the status to STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK.  However, see the comment in the code:

271	            case Status.STATUS_COMMITTING:
272	               // This is _very_ bad:
273	               // We are in the second commit phase, and have decided
274	               // to commit, but now we get a timeout and should rollback.
275	               // So we end up with a mixed decision.
276	               gotHeuristic(null, XAException.XA_HEURMIX);
277	               status = Status.STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK;
278	               return; // commit will fail

This is "_very_ bad" because some of the resources may have already actually committed.  It appears that is exactly what happened in this customer's case.  Therefore, when org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl.commit() checks the status again after the commit attempt and sees STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK it tries to rollback the resources.  However, this resource has already committed and therefore doesn't recognize the Xid that it's given:

  WARN [org.jboss.tm.TransactionImpl] XAException: tx=TransactionImpl:XidImpl[FormatId=257, GlobalId=doron/220, BranchQual=, localId=220] errorCode=XAER_PROTO 
org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossLocalXAException: wrong xid in rollback: expected: null, got: XidImpl[FormatId=257, GlobalId=doron/220, BranchQual=1, localId=220] 
at org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.TxConnectionManager$LocalXAResource.rollback(TxConnectionManager.java:1023)
