Mark Thomas resolved POOL-131.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This has been fixed for POOL2 via exposing the swallowed exceptions via a getter (accessible via JMX) and JMX notifications.

>             Project: Commons Pool
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.4
>         Environment: Spring Framework JTA transaction Manager + jBossTS + DBCP
>            Reporter: Mauro Molinari
>             Fix For: 2.0

>
> In our environment it happens the following. Suppose our code has a bug and does not release a connection previously obtained from DBCP. 
> Suppose a JTA transaction is in progress when this happens.
> When trying to commit this transaction, Spring has a guard that realizes that the owner of that transaction is in some way "dead", so it tries to close the connection before committing (I think this is a problem, however, let's go on). Closing the connection makes DBCP/Pool call returnObject on the GenericObjectPool, then addObjectToPool and, at last, passivateObject. As the connection is neither in auto-commit mode nor read-only, passivateObject issues a rollback on the connection but then jBossTS throws a SQLException saying that it is not allowed to issue a rollback on an underlying connection while a higher level JTA transaction is in progress. This exception is caught by returnObject and it is completely lost, because returnObject does not log it, nor it forwards it upward.
> The final result is that:
> - the connection is not given back to the Pool, because of the exception
> - however, the physical underlying connection to the DBMS remains open
> => we have a connection leak, without any proof of it (no exceptions are logged in any way)
> To get to these results I had to carefully debug my code. It would have been very easier if Pool logged exceptions thrown during passivation.
