      The QueuedPessimisticEJBLock in JBoss Transactions did not always detect that a waiting transaction had timed out, so the lock would remain active when it should have been released. This eventually resulted in a threadpool-wide lock, with all transactions waiting for the lock to release, or the locked transaction to be registered as timed out. The isTxExpired() method has been modified to ensure that timeouts are registered, so that transactions are informed of locks.

    Description

      When using Arjuna, QueuedPessimisticEJBLock does not always properly detect that a waiting tx has timed out. The problem is that QueuedPessimisticEJBLock was written for the old TM, which did not rollback transactions on timeout, but only marked them for rollback. Now that Arjuna is in play, it has to check for rolled back transactions too.

      The isTxExpired() method should be changed to something like this:

      protected boolean isTxExpired(Transaction miTx) throws Exception {
      if (miTx != null
      && (miTx.getStatus() == Status.STATUS_MARKED_ROLLBACK || miTx.getStatus() == Status.STATUS_ROLLEDBACK))

      { return true; }

      return false;
      }
