> Key: ARTEMIS-5851
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-5851
> Project: Artemis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: OpenWire
> Affects Versions: 2.44.0
> Reporter: Maxim
> Assignee: Justin Bertram
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 2.51.0
>
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> h3. Sequence of bug:
> # Client calls {{xa_start(xid)}} — transaction created in {{ResourceManager}}
> # Server timeout occurs — {{TxTimeoutHandler}} removes transaction from {{ResourceManager}}
> # Client sends message with original {{transactionId}} (unaware of timeout)
> # Server's {{lookupTX()}} returns {{null}} (transaction no longer exists)
> # Message is processed with {{tx = null}} — *auto-committed silently*
> # Client calls {{xa_end(xid)}} — receives {{XA_RBTIMEOUT}} error
> h3. Root Cause
> In {{OpenWireConnection.java}}, method {{processMessage()}} (lines 1744-1770):
> {code:java}
> Transaction tx = lookupTX(messageSend.getTransactionId(), session);
> session.getCoreSession().resetTX(tx); // tx = null after timeout
> session.send(producerInfo, messageSend, sendProducerAck); // auto-commit!{code}
> The validation that exists in {{processMessageAck()}} is missing in {{processMessage()}} :
> {code:java}
> // This check exists in processMessageAck() but NOT in processMessage():
> if (ack.getTransactionId() != null && tx == null)
> { throw new IllegalStateException("Transaction not started, " + ack.getTransactionId()); }{code}
> h3. Proposed Fix
> Add validation to {{processMessage()}}, so when client sends TransactionId, it expects actions inside transaction, not auto-committed actions:
> {code:java}
> Transaction tx = lookupTX(messageSend.getTransactionId(), session);
> if (messageSend.getTransactionId() != null && tx == null)
> { throw new IllegalStateException("Transaction not started or timed out: " + messageSend.getTransactionId()); }
> session.getCoreSession().resetTX(tx);{code}
> h3. Current bug impact on:
> * Violates XA transaction atomicity guarantees
> * Messages silently committed outside of transaction scope
> * No error reported to client until {{xa_end()}} is called
