Lin Sun commented on GERONIMO-4519:
-----------------------------------
I have been reading the XA spec again on this topic today. I have to say the
spec is rather confusing. Initially, I interpreted XA_RBROLLBACK as
transaction has already been rolled back by the XAResource when the XAResource
returns XA_RBROLLBACK as the result of XAResource.end() method. However when
I read the spec again today, I think that is not a safe conclusion. Here is
what I conclude:
If XA_RBROLLBACK arisen from XAResource.end() method, it means "The resource
manager marked the transaction branch rollback-only for an unspecified
reason.", per page 80 of XA+ spec, version 2 from the open group.
If XA_RBROLLBACK arisen from XAResource.commit() method, it means "The resource
manager rolled back the transaction branch for an unspecified reason.", per page
73 of XA spec. The spec gave the same explanation for XA_RBROLLBACK when
arisen from XAResource.rollback() or prepare() method.
So when TM calls XAResource.end() method with TMFAIL flag and got a
XA_RBROLLBACK exception, I think TM should continue with the rollback method
and call the XAResource.rollback() explicitly to ensure the transaction is
rolled back. Comments?
