transaction-support tag in ra.xml

[rickgibbs]

While trying to deploy coherence in 3.2b2 I ran into some problems accessing the cache which appeared to deploy correctly. When I asked tangosol about this issue, the response I got is below. I was wondering if this is something that others have seen or could shed a little light on:


Currently the Coherence JCA adapter only supports local transactions, which is reflected in the deployment descriptor "ra.xml":

<transaction-support>LocalTransaction</transaction-support>

Following is a quote from section 6.3.1 of J2EE Connector Architecture Specification:

"Depending on the transaction support level of a resource adapter, these methods should raise appropriate exceptions. For example, if the transaction support level for a resource adapter is NoTransaction, an invocation of get XAResource method should throw a ResourceException."

According to this requirement Coherence adapter throws the
javax.resource.NotSupportedException (extending javax.resource.ResourceException) that you see.

It looks like JBoss ignores the value of "transaction-support" element.

I found a couple of threads on the JBoss forum that seem to point out to similar problems (some people indicate that the LocalTransaction support was working in 2.4.4 an broke in 3.0)

Hello,

I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: mycompany.Type.getValue()Ljava/lang/String;

mycompany.Type is only

public interface Type
{
Object getValue();
}

The generated javassist method body is the following:

{
mycompany.Type type = getType();
Object value = type.getValue();
return ($r)value;
}

the return type of the method is String, so ($r) should do a cast to String.

Where is the error?
Why tries Javassist to call the getValue()Ljava/lang/String method instead of getValue()Ljava/lang/Object
?

Thanks,
