    JBoss + 2x MySQL DS + XA Transactions

      From what I understand, if your application accesses multiple data sources within the same transaction, you must use XA transactions. These are still new to me, but I'm starting to get a clear picture.


      Currently, JBoss is configured to use MySQL for java:/DefaultDS (this includes the extra JMS configuration needed when switching from HSQLDB - that's another topic in itself)


      java:/DefaultDS - ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/mysql-ds.xml


      <datasources>
        <local-tx-datasource>
          <jndi-name>DefaultDS</jndi-name>
          <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jboss</connection-url>
          <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
          <user-name>jboss</user-name>
          <password>jboss</password>
          <exception-sorter-class>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class>
          <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
          <metadata>
            <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
          </metadata>
        </local-tx-datasource>
      </datasources>
      



      My application is using MySQL as well, but naturally I want to separate the DBs in use (1 for JBoss and 1 for my application)


      java:/ApplicationDS - ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/application-ds.xml



      <datasources>
        <local-tx-datasource>
          <jndi-name>ApplicationDS</jndi-name>
          <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/application</connection-url>
          <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
          <user-name>application</user-name>
          <password>application</password>
          <exception-sorter-class>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class>
          <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
          <metadata>
            <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
          </metadata>
        </local-tx-datasource>
      </datasources>
      



      Seam is configured to use java:/ApplicationDS and the EJB timer service for the asychronous calls.


      components.xml


      <async:timer-service-dispatcher />
      <persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" auto-create="true"
                persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/applicationEntityManagerFactory" />
      



      persistence.xml


      <persistence-unit name="application">
           <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
           <jta-data-source>java:/ApplicationDS</jta-data-source>
           <properties>
                <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
                <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
                <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
                <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="false" />
                <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" value="java:/applicationEntityManagerFactory" />
           </properties>
      </persistence-unit>
      



      So what exactly is my problem?


      Say I have a POJO JSF action listener


      @Name("formAction")
      @Scope(ScopeType.STATELESS)
      public class FormAction {
      
          public void submit() {
              // the asynchronous call is the culprit
              Events.instance().raiseAsynchronousEvent("application.event.id", ...);
          }
      
      }
      



      Which is bound in a JSF page


      <h:commandLink action="#{formAction.submit}" />
      



      Whenever the #{formAction.submit} is invoked, I receive the following Exception

      For Googling around, I think I understand what the root cause of this Exception is. Essentially, JBoss is trying to persist the Timer to java:/DefaultDS. When this happens, there is currently a transaction (on java:/ApplicationDS) open by the JSF Invoke Application Phase. It tries to enlist the Timer persistence in the current Transaction (on java:/ApplicationDS) but failes due to non-XA datasources,


      Firstly, is my logic correct? Secondly, how do I go about configuring JBoss and Seam such that both DS can be accessed inside of the same Transaction?


      I'm still new to the concept of XA so please go easy on me. Any and all help is appreciated!


      Thanks in advance,

      PS - Just in case, I'm using JBoss 5.1.0.GA with Seam 2.2.0.GA

          You need to use <xa-datasource> instead of <local-tx-datasource> for your DS. JBoss comes with examples datasource files, look in JBOSS_HOME/docs/examples/jca.

            Thanks for the quick reply!


            So upon your advice, I reconfigured java:/DefaultDS to be an xa-datasource and immediately there were issues with JBM (JBoss Messaging). From JBMXADataSource it says JBM should always be configured with a standard transactional (non XA) database datasource.


            So now I have...


            java:/DefaultDS + java:/JmsDS - ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/mysql-ds.xml


            <datasources>
            
               <xa-datasource>
                  <jndi-name>DefaultDS</jndi-name>
                  <track-connection-by-tx />
                  <xa-datasource-class>com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
                  <xa-datasource-property name="URL">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jboss</xa-datasource-property>
                  <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
                  <user-name>jboss</user-name>
                  <password>jboss</password>
                  <no-tx-separate-pools/>
                  <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
                  <metadata>
                     <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
                  </metadata>
               </xa-datasource> 
            
               <local-tx-datasource>
                  <jndi-name>JmsDS</jndi-name>
                  <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jboss</connection-url>
                  <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
                  <user-name>jboss</user-name>
                  <password>jboss</password>
                  <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
                  <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
                  <metadata>
                    <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
                  </metadata>
               </local-tx-datasource>  
            
            </datasources>
            



            So after doing this, I had to update the JBM DS (which is DefaultDS by default)


            ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/messaging/mysql-persistence-service.xml


            %s/DefaultDS/JmsDS/g (in vim)
            



            Everything works fine (as if I was using the same DS like before).


            THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!!


            This was a deep issue that took some time to figure out due to the cryptic nature of the exception (although the 'Unabled to enlist resource' was the key).


            Thanks again!
