Gary Tully commented on AMQ-2659:
---------------------------------
yea, in the run() case it is. The issue is for other regular users of jms who
swap in an XA connection factory for a regular connection factory and use an
XASession as a regular session without a transaction, currently they will get
an exception but with the proposed changes they will not and they are into
undefined behavior.
The point being that this change has implications beyond the RA use case. A
variant of the org.apache.activemq.JMSConsumerTest with an XA connection
factory will demonstrate the problems that the current exception is trying to
avoid. From a normal JMS user perspective, Session and XASession are not the
same.
Maybe the way out of this is again through configuration, making the check for
an active XA transaction optional, so it can be disabled for power users.

> 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}
