Why not always pad Xid?

[bill.burke]

mok, Can try a few more things,

look at http://<your-server>:8082

and make sure that your jndi name is there, should be something like

jndiName=helloEJBDisplay

You might also try with your initial context adding the property
env.put("java.naming.rmi.security.manager", "yes");

Btw, is the jndi lookup from within JBOSS (same jvm) or an external client?

If my memory serves me right, we were concerned that other tx manager would not like the padding zeros. Or there was a tx manager (Informix???) that did not like the padding. It's been too long, sorry...

I wonder if JBoss Group now has resources to test this with different tx managers.

I think whether or not to pad needs to happen at the JCA level. That the XAResource interface must be wrapped and when prepare or commit is called a new Xid should be created based on whether padding should be done or not. We will need the same for XAResource.recover as different XAResources require different flags here.
