Eugene Rodos commented on AMQ-2659:
-----------------------------------
The use case is that when the JMS client calls createConnection on the
connection factory handle, an XA tx may have been started or may not have been.
The RA has no way of knowing this. Therefore, we configure the RA to always
use XAConnectionFactory. This way, if a tx was started, the XA capabilities of
the connection will be used, and if not, they won't, but it should work in
either case.
Without this change, I get an Exception when trying to use the
AMQXAConnFactory/AMQXAConn when a tx has not been started. I've had to make
this change to make our RA work with AMQ. Other JMS engines (such as JBoss)
don't have this restriction. Nor do the JMS and JCA specify anywhere that if
XA objects are used, a tx MUST be started.

> Key: AMQ-2659
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2659
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 5.3.0
> Reporter: Eugene Rodos
>
> Currently, if one attempts to use an XAConnection (implemented by
> ActiveMQXAConnection) and consequently an XASession (implemented by
> ActiveMQXASession) outside a transaction, a JMSException is thrown. However,
> nowhere in the JMS Spec does it say that if an XAConnection/XASession is
> used, it _*must*_ be enlisted in a transaction. It is perfectly legal to
> _*not*_ start a transaction but still use the XA objects.
> I propose that the following 2 methods in ActiveMQXASession be changed as
> follows to resolve this bug:
> {noformat}
> public boolean getTransacted() throws JMSException {
> return getTransactionContext().isInXATransaction();
> }
> /**
> * This is called before transacted work is done by the session.
> * XA transactions are controlled outside of the session so
> * nothing has to be done here. The only reason for this method
> * to be here is to override the parent.
> */
> protected void doStartTransaction() {
> }
> {noformat}
> \\
> The current version of these methods is as follows (for reference):
> {noformat}
> public boolean getTransacted() throws JMSException {
> return true;
> }
> /**
> * This is called before transacted work is done by
> * the session. XA Work can only be done when this
> * XA resource is associated with an Xid.
> *
> * @throws JMSException not associated with an Xid
> */
> protected void doStartTransaction() throws JMSException {
> if (!getTransactionContext().isInXATransaction()) {
> throw new JMSException("Session's XAResource has not been
> enlisted in a distributed transaction.");
> }
> }
> {noformat}
