Clearing the transaction persistent storage

[obfuscator]

Hi!

As a lot of other people on this list, I have a "trouble recovering non-serializable XAResource" problem.

I know that the source of the problem was a Jackrabbit transaction bug.
I also know that this is related to a FAQ question, and that the proper resolution would be to write a recovery module. However, I'm just interested of removing this entry from the persistent storage, since this is on my development machine. Is there any file I can delete, or database table I can clear, so that Jboss just forgets about the transaction failure?

Best regards

Alexander

yes, delete the contents of whatever directory you set the objectStoreDir property to in jbossjta-properties.xml

Thank you for such a quick and simple answer! Great! Have a nice weekend!

For anyone else who tries this:

The jboss log will contain something like

[loggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.resources.arjunacore.norecoveryxa] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.resources.arjunacore.norecoveryxa] Could not find new XAResource to use for recovering non-serializable XAResource < 131075, 28, 26, 1-7f000101:8cbb:46fb5b92:3657f000101:8cbb:46fb5b92:395 >

You can search for the uuid:

~$ locate 46fb5b92
/opt/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/default/data/tx-object-store/HashedActionStore/defaultStore/StateManager/BasicAction/TwoPhaseCoordinator/AtomicAction/#88#/7f000101_8cbb_46fb5b92_365

Now all you need to do is delete that file and you're sorted!

Trivia:
The jbossjta-properties.xml contains (at least for me, running 4.2.1):

<property name="com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.objectstore.objectStoreDir" value="PutObjectStoreDirHere"/>

This is a little confusing, BUT after reading
http://jboss.org/?module=bb&op=viewtopic&start=0&t=98679
I managed to find out that this is actually overriden in /server//conf/jboss-service.xml as such:

<mbean code="com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.jta.TransactionManagerService"
 <attribute name="ObjectStoreDir">${jboss.server.data.dir}/tx-object-store</attribute>

Good luck!

Plus, read the documentation. It's all covered there ;-)

RTFM? Naah :D

No, but seriously, i would love to have time to do that, but as so many others I was just looking for a quick and simple solution to my problem. And when you're in those situations, anything that isn't number one on Google doesn't exist.

I understand that you've put a lot of effort into this project, and I thank you for a great product and respect your work. I also understand that you feel like the least your users can do is to RTFM, and I understand. But having recently started with JEE and Jboss, I really have a LOT to tackle as it is. And since transactions work so flawlessly, I don't really need to understand that in great detail yet. :)

I promise I'll RTFM before posting the first serious forum post here ;)

Cheers
