Re: Very Dangerous bug in XA connection pooling and SL EJBs with jboss-4.2.3 & latest postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3.jar

(resending to the pgsql-jdbc list with attachments gzipped, the original
mail didn't get through because it was too big)

Okay, thanks, I see what's going on now.

There's two things contributing to this:

* When you call setAutoCommit(false) on a connection acquired from a
PGXAConnection, in a local transaction, and subsequently use the
connection for XA transaction, the driver puts the connection back into
autocommit mode. Looking at the JDBC spec, I don't think the driver
should be doing that; when the XA transaction ends, autocommit mode
should be restored to whatever it was before.

* Even though you explicitly call setAutoCommit(false) in the 2nd
invocation of the java block, JBoss intercepts the call and turns it
into a no-op, because it remembers that setAutoCommit(false) was already
called on the connection in the first invocation of that. But the driver
turned on autocommit mode behind its back, so the connection is in fact
in autocommit mode even though JBoss thinks it's not, and despite the
application explicitly called setAutoCommit(false).

Sometimes I want to punch the designers of the JTA API in the face, it's
unnecessarily complicated with all those interactions between local and
XA transactions, sharing connections between transactions, transaction
suspend/resume etc. But it is what it is and we have to live with it :-(.

Attached is a patch to fix the issue by remembering the autocommit
status of the connection when an XA transaction is started and to
restore it after it ends (fix-jboss-autocommit-issue-2.patch).

While we're at it, the other attached patch includes the changes from
the first patch, plus some sanity checks. It throws an error if you call
setAutoCommit/commit/rollback/setSavePoint in an XA transaction. That's
forbidden according to the JDBC spec, but we haven't enforced it before
(the behavior is not well-defined if you do it). It also throws an error
if you call XAResource.commit(..., true) (ie. COMMIT PREPARED) using a
connection that's being used for a local transaction. That currently
silently commits the local transaction, which is bad. It adds another
layer of reflection the calls on Connection objects, but that shouldn't
be that performance critical, correctness is much more important.

Attached is also a stand-alone test case exhibiting the same sequence of
calls that JBoss produced in this scenario, so that we have that
archived for future reference.
