There is a transcation exception sometime

[hantsy]

There is a transcation exception sometime when I browse the page at the first time after it was deployed.

Is this a bug?

How to avoid it?

[lightguard]

Would you please post the code you're using and the modules included in your war?

[hantsy]

what codes u want to know...
I only browsed the home page of the application...the exception is not occurred everytime...

[lightguard]

And beans that are called for that page and beans.xml for a start.

[hantsy]

beans.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</beans>

View config class

@ViewConfig
public interface Pages {
     
     static enum Pages1{
          
               @FacesRedirect                
             @UrlMapping(pattern="/login")
               @ViewPattern("/login.xhtml")
             LOGIN,
             
             @FacesRedirect                
             @UrlMapping(pattern="/denied")
               @ViewPattern("/denied.xhtml")
             DENIED,
             
             
             
             
             @FacesRedirect                
               @ViewPattern("/addressee/*")
               @LoggedIn
               @AccessDeniedView("/denied.xhtml")
             @LoginView("/login.xhtml")
             ADDRESSEE,
             
             
             @FacesRedirect                
             @UrlMapping(pattern="/addressee")
               @ViewPattern("/addressee/addresseeList.xhtml")
               ADDRESSEE_HOME,
             
             @FacesRedirect          
             @UrlMapping(pattern="/")
               @ViewPattern("/home.xhtml")
               @LoggedIn
             HOME,
          
          
                @FacesRedirect                
             @ViewPattern("/*")
             @AccessDeniedView("/denied.xhtml")
             @LoginView("/login.xhtml")
                //@LoggedIn
             ALL;
          
     }

When user browsed the home page, if not logged in, it will redirect to the login page.

seam beans content...the before version is not correct, it the beans.xml content.

<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:ee="urn:java:ee" 
     xmlns:ss="urn:java:org.jboss.seam.security"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
        http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/beans_1_0.xsd">

    <ss:IdentityImpl>
         <ee:modifies />
         <ss:authenticatorName>siorcAuthenticator</ss:authenticatorName>
    </ss:IdentityImpl>
         
</beans>

Can I can consider this is a bug...

Obvouisly, it is not caused by my code, but some transaction mechanism in Seam faces or Jobss itself.

[lightguard]

Unfortunately I'm unable to tell where the problem is with what you've provided and the stack trace. Could you please list beans that are being invoked when you render the page?

[hantsy]

Only browsed the home page...
There is no bean call.

It will redirect to the login page according to my @ViewConfig.

I have the same issue only on Jboss AS 7 + java 1.7.
The same application works well on Jboss AS 6 + java 1.7.
Maybe it works well with java 1.6 on both AS, but I don't test it yet.
And I really thinks it is JB AS 7 bug.

[lightguard]

I'm pretty sure AS7 isn't supported on Java 1.7 yet. Please use 1.6

[a.bond]

But in Release notes for Jboss AS 7 written - Java SE 6 or later (we recommend that you use the latest update available) Java SE 7 can be used with JBoss AS 7.

[lightguard]

I believe we have fixed this with 3.1.0.CR1 and / or 3.1.0.Final.
