JBoss TS JTA - unsetting current transaction association

timfox Jan 7, 2007 9:41 AM

If I do the following:


txMgr.begin();

Transaction tx = txMgr.getTransaction();

tx.commit();

tx = txMgr.getTransaction();

assertNull(tx);

The assertion fails (I would expect the tx.commit() to cause the association between the current thread and transaction to be broken).

But the following passes:


txMgr.begin();

Transaction tx = txMgr.getTransaction();

txMgr.commit();

tx = txMgr.getTransaction();

assertNull(tx);

Is this behaviour by design? With the old JBoss JTA implementation both the above cases would pass

It is bad/broken design. Only going through TransactionManager/UserTransaction do you get thread-to-transaction association/disassociation. (Same as using Current in OTS). If you terminate the transaction directly through Transaction (equivalent to using the Terminator in OTS) then you the thread-to-transaction association is not modified. You'll need to either use TM/UT or do an explicit suspend afterwards on the calling thread.
