WildFly 8.2: Why do all number-of-*-transactions stay 0, even though TX statistics is enabled?

[rasmuslund]

In standalone.xml I have enabled TX statistics (line 8 below):

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:transactions:2.0">
    <core-environment>
        <process-id>
            <uuid/>
        </process-id>
    </core-environment>
    <recovery-environment socket-binding="txn-recovery-environment" status-socket-binding="txn-status-manager"/>
    <coordinator-environment statistics-enabled="true"/>
</subsystem>

I use the following cmd in JBoss CLI GUI:

/subsystem=transactions/:read-resource(recursive=true,include-runtime=true)

Which gives the following result:

{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "default-timeout" => 300,
        "enable-statistics" => true,
        "enable-tsm-status" => false,
        "hornetq-store-enable-async-io" => false,
        "jdbc-action-store-drop-table" => false,
        "jdbc-action-store-table-prefix" => undefined,
        "jdbc-communication-store-drop-table" => false,
        "jdbc-communication-store-table-prefix" => undefined,
        "jdbc-state-store-drop-table" => false,
        "jdbc-state-store-table-prefix" => undefined,
        "jdbc-store-datasource" => undefined,
        "jts" => false,
        "node-identifier" => "1",
        "number-of-aborted-transactions" => 0L,
        "number-of-application-rollbacks" => 0L,
        "number-of-committed-transactions" => 0L,
        "number-of-heuristics" => 0L,
        "number-of-inflight-transactions" => 0L,
        "number-of-nested-transactions" => 0L,
        "number-of-resource-rollbacks" => 0L,
        "number-of-timed-out-transactions" => 0L,
        "number-of-transactions" => 0L,
        "object-store-path" => "tx-object-store",
        "object-store-relative-to" => "jboss.server.data.dir",
        "path" => "var",
        "process-id-socket-binding" => undefined,
        "process-id-socket-max-ports" => 10,
        "process-id-uuid" => true,
        "recovery-listener" => false,
        "relative-to" => "jboss.server.data.dir",
        "socket-binding" => "txn-recovery-environment",
        "statistics-enabled" => true,
        "status-socket-binding" => "txn-status-manager",
        "use-hornetq-store" => false,
        "use-jdbc-store" => false,
        "log-store" => {"log-store" => {
            "type" => "default",
            "transactions" => undefined
        }}
    }
}

Problem is that all the tx counters stay on 0, even though I run code that uses transactions.

Note: Our DataSources are defined as XML files in the deployments folder (if that makes a difference).

Yes it makes all the difference, statistics cannot be enabled for dynamically deployed data sources.

But that should be true for datasource statistics not the transaction stats which are controlled by different subsystem.

maybe mmusgrov knows more

Are you using JTA transactions (ie is the jta element set on your datasources)? If not then you will not see any change in the stats. But if you are using JTA then I will need to investigate.
