Michael Dick commented on OPENJPA-969:
--------------------------------------

I should probably amend my earlier comments. I worked on this support for 
WebSphere. With other Application Servers I tried to let us fall back to the 
existing support.

Part of the problem might lie in whether the application server uses the 
TransactionSynchronizationRegistry. AFAIK the TSR does not support suspending 
the current transaction, so we need to write special code to call vendor 
specific APIs. I added those for WebSphere, but they've never been added for 
Geronimo or WebLogic, and other vendors. 

I talked with Fay and she's hitting the problem with WebSphere so I'm taking a 
closer look at the issue.

> The openjpa manual states clearly that a second unmanaged DataSource is 
> required for updating sequence table (page 205: 4.2.1. Managed and XA 
> DataSources): 
> "When using a managed DataSource, you should also configure a second 
> unmanaged DataSource that OpenJPA can use to perform tasks that are 
> independent of the global transaction. The most common of these tasks is 
> updating the sequence table OpenJPA uses to generate unique primary key 
> values for your datastore identity objects. Configure the second DataSource 
> using the non-jta-data-source persistence.xml element, or OpenJPA's various 
> "2" connection properties, such as openjpa.ConnectionFactory2Name or 
> openjpa.Connection2DriverName. These properties are outlined in
> Chapter 2, Configuration [161]."
> Openjpa, however, does not this rule when Sequence table is involved. As a 
> result, the application hangs when only one datasource is configured. This is 
> not very user-friendly. An error message should be thrown when this situation 
> is detected.
