jboss 4.2.1 with spring 2.0.6 causes NoTransactionException

bucegiomu Sep 10, 2007 11:56 AM

Yes, jboss 4.2.1 causes org.springframework.transaction.NoTransactionException.

The integration between Spring and JBOSS does not work properly anymore after upgrading jboss from 4.0.4 to 4.2.1. Basically I have a CMT Stateless Session Bean EJB (SubscrFacadeBean) which is calling a spring bean (KtfPerformerImpl) as follows:

... SubscrFacadeBean.createSubscr(...)
{
 // Get KtfPerformerImpl from Bean Factory
 KtfPerformerImpl impl = ...;

 // Call implementation
 impl.createSubscr(...);
}

The EJB method createSubscr is marked (CMT) with a "Required" transaction attribute.
The KtfPerformerImpl.createSubscr method is marked "PROPAGATION_REQUIRED, -Exception" using an TransactionProxyFactoryBean.
In spring I'm using the JTA transaction manager as follows:

<bean id="txManager"
class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
 <property name="transactionManagerName" value="java:/TransactionManager"/>
 <property name="userTransactionName" value="UserTransaction"/>
</bean>

So, having enabled the DEBUG logging level for "org.springframework.transaction", I can see (while debugging) after entering KtfPerformerImpl.createSubscr(...):

2007-08-24 15:59:36,146 DEBUG [org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager] Using tran

So far it's cool: KtfPerformerImpl.createSubscr(...) was enlisted in the transaction opened by EJB CMT. Then an application exception is raised in KtfPerformerImpl.createSubscr(...):

com.picsel.server.ezine.subscr.exception.SubscriptionException: "ERROR_CODE 2 (not 0!) received!

which SHOULD rollback the transaction, but look what I get in the log:

So the transaction is marked for rollback by spring, but afterwards an org.springframework.transaction.NoTransactionException is thrown, WHICH WAS NOT HAPPENING WHEN USING JBOSS 4.0.4. The result is that the application exception is overridden by the rollback exception.
Could somebody from JBOSS team help me with this, please.

So nobody from JBOSS team cares about this IMPORTANT problem that makes jboss unusable with Spring. You know, jboss team guys, after the VERY PAINFUL upgrade from jboss 4.0.4 to jboss 4.2.1 which dissapointed us already a lot, your indiference for this problem can result in only one possible solution: give up jboss and continue with spring and some other container. I'm sure that other people must hve had the same problem, so, do you, jboss team, really not care about this???!!!

Sorry to hear you are still having problems. Of course I care, but right now I'm busy solving problems for paying customers. Buy a support contract or be patient. Freeloaders don't have whining privileges. This applies especially ones who don't bother to submit test cases.

WRT http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4803

1) This is not a bug report. There is a large message saying READ THIS FIRST
on what is required to raise a bug report before you enter one, READ IT.
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=HelpBugReport

It also says not to change the priority that is for "developers use only"
We'd make it protected if the JIRA software let us, instead we have to ask
you to follow basic instructions.

2) If you read the above link, you'll learn that one stacktrace does not make a bug report
- unless the error message is an NPE or says to report it as a bug and it is generated by JBoss code.
It needs context, e.g. a testcase that reproduces the problem or some
reasonable logging so we can tell what is going on.

3) None of the stacktrace above contains any JBoss AS or JBoss TM code
(except the container calling code - e.g. the jboss log interceptor reporting the error)
it's all your code and Spring

4) It's a Spring error message -ask them

5) I don't use Spring, but I'd **guess** from the error there really is no *ACTIVE* transaction.
This could because the transaction is marked rollback or it has been already rolledback
(e.g. transaction timeout). You can't register a transaction synchronization like Spring is trying to do if the transaction is not active.

6) Please try again when you can properly explain what the problem is,
rather than just dumping random (non jboss) error messages in the forums or bug reports.

adrian.brock Oct 4, 2007 1:04 PM (in response to bucegiomu)

DO NOT re-open this bug report until it has been confirmed in the forums
that it is a bug in JBoss rather than Spring or your code/configuration.

So far you have:

1) Whined in the forums when really you should have been ignored for posting in the
wrong forum and with incomplete information.

2) Raised a "critical" bug report with no reason to do so.

There is no way we can "fix" anything from the information provided.
Bug reports are not there to escalate unanswered or in your case unanswerable
questions in the forums.

3) Sent me an unsolicted private e-mail (who knows who else?), i.e. spam

If its really that important to you, buy a support contract and get professional help
with a guaranteed SLA and somebody who will hold your hand to get the information
required to properly answer your question (most likely a configuration issue).

It doesn't have to be from Redhat if you don't like us. :-)

Adrian,
Because I cannot attach files to this topic, I have been trying to send you a private email (to adrian@jboss.org) containing a small ear to reproduce the error together with the sources for it. But it looks like the email server on your side does allow only really tiny zip files, so I was not able to send the email. How can I send you the small test ear that reproduces the error together with source files. Alternatively, is there any way to attach files to this topic?

Please don't send things by private e-mail.
In some counties it against the law to send unsoliceted e-mails!

You should have just added them to the bug report or created your own
since the original is closed.

The complaint about the original bug report is that is was unanswerable,
amongst other things it just showed one spring generated error message
with no indication on how to reproduce the problem.

Anyway, I raised a new bug report
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4972
where the question is answered in the same way as before.

i.e. Spring bug => ask Spring

Since this time I could reproduce the problem, there is more
detailed "guesswork" on that bug report about where the problem lies.

I'd further guess that the Spring code is fundamentally broken for JTA.

The only place that actually checks the JTA transaction status
(javax.transaction.Transaction.getStatus())
is in the UserTransaction handling, so it isn't going to understand
some of the edge cases like heuristics or asynchronous changes to the
state like transaction timeouts.

[ejort@warjort transaction]$ grep -ri getStatus * jta/JtaTransactionManager.java: return (txObject.getUserTransaction().getStatus() != Status.STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION); jta/JtaTransactionManager.java: throw new TransactionSystemException("JTA failure on getStatus", ex); jta/JtaTransactionManager.java: if (txObject.getUserTransaction().getStatus() != Status.STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION) { jta/JtaTransactionManager.java: if (txObject.getUserTransaction().getStatus() != Status.STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION) { jta/UserTransactionAdapter.java: public int getStatus() throws SystemException { jta/UserTransactionAdapter.java: return this.transactionManager.getStatus(); jta/JtaTransactionObject.java: return (getUserTransaction().getStatus() == Status.STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK); jta/JtaTransactionObject.java: throw new TransactionSystemException("JTA failure on getStatus", ex); support/SmartTransactionObject.java: * @see javax.transaction.UserTransaction#getStatus
