Michael Musgrove commented on JBTM-748:
---------------------------------------

I'm seeing other undesirable consequences of this error. I added a hack to our BlackTie C++ code to assume that the transaction rolled back but once the error has occurred whenever a new (OTS) transaction is started any attempt to get the propagation context results in the ORB running inside the AS reporting the following failure:

  "12:55:46,180 WARN  [controller] rid: 25 opname: get_terminator cannot process request, because object doesn't exist" (which we see as CORBA::OBJECT_NOT_EXIST exception)

The only way to recover is to shutdown and restart the ORB running in the BlackTie C++ executable.

> Occasionally our BlackTie CI test run is failing when marking a transaction rollback only because it is getting the wrong exception back from the transaction manager

> The second log message comes from the C client (the other two from the reaper). The CORBA System exception major/minor code represents INVALID_TRANSACTION/INACTIVE_TRANSACTION which according to the OTS spec is incorrect.
> A look at the code shows a race condition between a BlackTie C client marking a transaction abort only and the Transaction Reaper cancelling it (due to a timeout being reached). The reaper eventually winds up in ControlImple.destroy() where the CORBA object representing the transaction is destroyed. There is a window where the C client request reaches JacORB just before the reaper has had a chance to destroy the CORBA object resulting in the wrong exception being returned.
