JBoss 4.0.4 has a bunch of places where new ThreadGroups are created.
In none of those places is the ThreadGroup adjusted so that when
a Java Error, such as an OutOfMemoryError, is caught existing extant
transactions rolled back. (With java 4 one would have to create a derived
class from ThreadGroup and have its uncaughtException method have
a handler and with java 5 one need only set the handler).
So, my question is: what happens to transactions when an
OutOfMemory occurs in another thread?
JBoss will shutdown (if you have a monitor that looks for OutOfMemory's
and cycles jboss) but what will happen to the transactions?
