Oliver Zeigermann commented on TRANSACTION-15:
----------------------------------------------
Concerning your observations with light weight transactions I can only agree.
They really are not very robust and have to be used with extreme care.
I would like to see them fixed as well, but it is as easy as this: No patch, no
fix ;)
As a workaround use full transactions.

> FileResourceManager getResource(String) method will leak in the case an
> exception occurs during execution, in the most obvious case where the
> resource does not exist. This is because the method does not do proper
> cleanup of the lightweight transaction (which it allocated itself).
> Lightweight transactions in general are pretty sketchy in commons-transaction
> which I think is a fact that should be advertised a bit more widely - I was a
> little disappointed to see that the 1.2 release went ahead last month without
> any more attention to the issues that I raised last May - the thread begins
> 22nd May 2006 at

> (title: Memory leaks in GenericLockManager, FileResourceManager)
> The resolution to the leak I posted there was demonstrated not completely
> sound, but I think in the absence of any other approach it would be better
> than nothing - better that a heavyweight transaction immediately retried with
> the same ID will very rarely fail than that every lightweight transaction
> will leak :P
> In any case, this issue is more serious in that it is not just a leak, but
> will permanently lock a part of the resource tree for the lifetime of the
> ResourceManager. I have attached diffs for a patch and a test case for this
> issue below.
