Hi everybody,I'm working with JBoss 5 CR 1 playing around with a Timer Bean. Here are some details:
- the Timer's time-out method is marked with a RequiresNew TX-attribute- the timeout I create is a one-shot timer (it has to be executed exactly once)
The Timer Bean's timeout code resembles what follows:
@Timeout
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)
public void foo(Timer timer) {
try {
if(accessDataStore()) {
...
} else {
...
}
} catch(DataStoreException e) {
sessionCtx.setRollbackOnly();
}
}
What upsets me is that whenever the guard of the if statement throws a
DataStoreException, the setRollbackOnly() method is called but the
timer does not get rescheduled: querying the PUBLIC.TIMERS table of
the JBoss Hypersonic internal DB, I can see no timer is scheduled
anymore. This does not sound appropriate to me due to what the JEE 5
spec states:
"If the timer is a single-action timer, the container removes the timer after the timeout callback method has been successfully invoked (e.g., when the transaction that has been started for the invocation of the timeout callback method commits)." (JSR 220 - EJB Core Contracts and Requirements v 3.0 Final Release - Section 18.2.2)
I've temporarily solved the problem creating a repetitive-timer and canceling it if and only if the timeout method succeeds, but I feel like the right approach was the former one.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Francesco Russo
