1. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Sep 2, 2011 10:06 AM (in response to marks1900_marks1900-customer)My specific environment configuration is that I have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and ActiveMq.
Does anyone have an XA examples? Any information, tutorial will be greatly appreciated.

2. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
davsclaus Sep 6, 2011 12:15 AM (in response to marks1900_marks1900-customer)There is also a Camel transaction guide
The Camel in Action book, chapter 9 convers transactions as well, which also includes XA.

marks1900_marks1900-customer Sep 8, 2011 11:21 AM (in response to davsclaus)Thanks for that reply.
I ended up finding the example that goes with that book:
http://camelinaction.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/chapter9/xa/src/test/resources/spring-context.xml
Ideally, I am looking for an example that combines the following resources in blueprint or spring configuration file:

4. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Oct 17, 2011 6:07 PM (in response to marks1900_marks1900-customer)I am using ServiceMix and I am attempting to use XA transactions correctly. Basically, I want my route wrapped in an XA transaction in a way that ActiveMQ and Microsoft SqlServer persistance is atomic.
Ideally, I want all transactions that fail X amount of times to move into a Dead Letter Queue for later processing.
-
Currently for the class "ServiceMixXaRollbackTest" below...
If a transactions is to fail more than 2 times it will move to the Dead Letter Queue: "DLQ.my_test_thirdparty".
However if I comment out the code:
onException(IllegalArgumentException.class).maximumRedeliveries(2).useOriginalMessage().to( "activemq:queue:DLQ.my_test_thirdparty" );
Then the JMS XML message that has been dropped into "my_test_thirdparty" will get consumed and disappear after 4 retries.
-
Is the way in which I undertake my Camel Error Handling correct? Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Mark

6. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
davsclaus Oct 18, 2011 2:27 AM (in response to davsclaus)Also check the Camel transactional guide
http://fusesource.com/products/enterprise-camel/#documentation
And as ActiveMQ also supports redelivery you should generally configure redelivery and dead letter channel in ActiveMQ and not Camel.
http://activemq.apache.org/message-redelivery-and-dlq-handling.html
http://activemq.apache.org/redelivery-policy.html
The Camel in Action book chapter 9 also convers transactions and using XA etc. The sample source code for the book is free, so you may find some inspiration there.

7. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Oct 20, 2011 6:23 PM (in response to davsclaus)Thanks once again for replying to these posts and I am very appreciative.
I had a close look at the Camel in Action Example I updated my Spring resource xml, and still was unable to get Transaction Rollback working as expected.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It seems that on rollback the ActiveMq message gets consumed and does NOT end up in the Dead Letter Queue.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have tried the default ActiveMq broker configuration that comes with ServiceMix 4.3 (etc/activemq-broker.xml) and also the broker configuration as it exists in the Camel in Action example (http://code.google.com/p/camelinaction/source/browse/trunk/chapter9/xa/src/test/resources/spring-context.xml).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My console logs definitely indicated that rollback has occurred.

8. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
davsclaus Oct 21, 2011 3:24 AM (in response to marks1900_marks1900-customer)Are you running inside Apache ServiceMix 4.3, or Fuse ESB? If so what version exactly are you using?
SMX/Fuse ESB already comes with TX manager support (from Aries/Geronimo). See for example the org.apache.aries.transaction.cfg in the etc folder of the SMX/ESB

9. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Oct 21, 2011 12:17 PM (in response to davsclaus)From your comments it seems I should change the way I am attempting to setup the transaction management of my Database (Microsoft SQL Server) and Message Broker (ActiveMq) to use the out-of-the-box TX manager support (from Aries/Geronimo).
While the following link highlights what you are saying:
http://fusesource.com/docs/esb/4.4.1/esb_deploy_osgi/ESBOSGiIntro-Txn.html
From my understanding for what I want, I am looking for an examples that uses an JMS XA Connection Factory class (ActiveMQXAConnectionFactory) and an XA Datasource class (SQLServerXADataSource) to complete this XA/JTA transaction.
I even found the source code that is for the upcoming Fuse Webinars "Database Integration with Apache Camel" talks, though am quite bewildered without the presentation talk and slides.
https://github.com/cmoulliard/sparks/tree/master/fuse-webinars/camel-persistence-part1
https://github.com/cmoulliard/sparks/tree/master/fuse-webinars/camel-persistence-part2
Is there any specific examples that you know of that would be able to help me along here?

10. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Oct 24, 2011 11:39 AM (in response to davsclaus)I did find a reference to ActiveMq configuration on combing "JMS and JDBC operations in one transaction with Spring/Jencks/ActiveMQ":
http://activemq.apache.org/jms-and-jdbc-operations-in-one-transaction.html
Though, I am still searching for the relevant configuration I to achieve ensure my ServiceMix 4.3 Camel routes can have transactional integrity.

11. Re: JMS and Database interactions under the same transactional context
marks1900_marks1900-customer Oct 26, 2011 12:29 PM (in response to davsclaus)So I have discovered some issues with my code. The following code seems to be a working example with Atomikos (resource-context.xml) with Test Case (ServiceMixXaRollbackTest) using a ServiceMix 4.3 ActiveMq instance (activemq-broker.xml).
Quick point:

http://activemq.apache.org/message-redelivery-and-dlq-handling.html
++ I will attempt to move this logic to ActiveMq.
Unfortunately, on transaction rollback (and retry exhaustion) I am expecting my ActiveMq message to move to the Dead Letter Queue "DLQ.my_test_thirdparty" as specified in the activemq-broker.xml, since I don't override any message redelivery and dlq handling behaviour in Camel. Instead I am finding that the ActiveMq message lands in the queue "ActiveMQ.DLQ".
What am I missing in my understanding on the behaviour of ActiveMq and Camel ?
Updated code below.

Start code snippet: "src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/resource-context.xml"

End code snippet: "apache-servicemix-4.3.0/etc/activemq-broker.xml"

Thank you very much for your help. It did take a while to understand this, though your help has been pinpoint accurate.

Turns out that I didn't reload the ServiceMix ActiveMq bundle via the osgi:update command. This meant that the following text that I added was being ignored.
