Deprecation of txframework from WildFly modules

[ochaloup]

Hi guys,

I would like check with you if somebody has some notes or objection on idea of deprecation of txframework from WildFly with possibility of removing it completely in some future version.

The txframework (narayana/txframework at master · jbosstm/narayana · GitHub ) was deprecated from Narayana codebase at start of year 2015. It's functionality was completely replaced by compensations framework. The integration to WildFly was never been done completely as there is missing the part with recovery ([JBTM-1107] Recovery Support in Compensation API - JBoss Issue Tracker) - for txframework and for compensations as well.

I expect the txframework can be used really for some proof-of-concepts but hardly for production. From that I think as txframework is deprecated in Narayana, not fully integrated in WildFly, functionality was completely replaced with compensations framework then the txframework is not needed to be maintained as dependency in WildFly.

+1 - the compensations framework should replace it. Perhaps paul.robinson might have some comment?

My memory is fuzzy on this, but it is inline with what Ondra states in the original question. In which case, I agree, it makes sense to deprecate (and later remove) the TXFramework subsystem in WildFly.
