Craig Russell commented on OPENJPA-343:
---------------------------------------
> When we get to this spot, the Transaction is complete. All of the prepares
> and commits and/or rollbacks have completed. The afterCompletion call is just
> a convenience callback to let those resources that have registered for
> Synchronization that the transaction has completed. The parameter on
> afterCompletion lets you know whether the transaction committed or rolled
> back. So, there is nothing to "fail".
If there's nothing important for OpenJPA to do in afterCompletion, then it
should simply return and there cannot be an exception. If there is something
important to do, then it's important that it complete.
Is this not true?
> Do not call setRollbackOnly on inactive Transactions

> Key: OPENJPA-343
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-343
> Project: OpenJPA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: kernel
> Affects Versions: 0.9.7, 1.0.0
> Reporter: Kevin Sutter
> Assignee: Kevin Sutter
>
> While in the middle of processing an afterCompletion invocation in
> BrokerImpl, an unexpected RuntimeException (IndexOutOfBoundsException)
> occurred within some underlying WebSphere code. While we (OpenJPA) were
> attempting to clean up after that exception, we attempted to call
> setRollbackOnly on the current transaction. But, since we were in the
> process of completing the current transaction, it is invalid to be calling
> setRollbackOnly and we ended up getting an IllegalStateException from the
> WebSphere Transaction Manager. Due this second exception, we ended up losing
> track of the original exception and this became a difficult problem to
> diagnose.
> This issue will be used to correct a couple of issues (at least):
> 1) We should ensure that the transaction is active before calling
> setRollbackOnly(). When an exception happens during afterCompletion
> processing, the Transaction can no longer accept setRollbackOnly
> invocations.
> 2) When an unexpected exception happens like this, we should log the
> exception before attempting to process the exception. In this particular
> case, we lost the original exception when we ran into the
> IllegalStateException
> from the Transaction service. This forced us to re-run the scenario just to
> get a trace of the exception.
> 3) Or, if we don't want to log the exception immediately, we need to
> determine why we lost the first exception in the first place and ensure that
> doesn't happen again.
