reconnect-forever on JMS endpoint doesn't work with xa-transactions

Question

I am using Mule 3.2.1 standalone and JBoss 5.1. Here's my flow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"       xmlns:jms="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jms" xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation" xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:core="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core" xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jbossts="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jbossts" xmlns:management="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/management" version="CE-3.2.1" xsi:schemaLocation="

<jbossts:transaction-manager/> 
<jms:connector name="JMS" specification="1.1"  numberOfConsumers="1" jndiInitialFactory="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory" jndiProviderUrl="jnp://localhost:1099" connectionFactoryJndiName="java:/XAConnectionFactory" maxRedelivery="10" doc:name="JMS">
        <reconnect-forever frequency="5000"/>
</jms:connector>
<flow name="flow" doc:name="flow">
    <jms:inbound-endpoint queue="test1" connector-ref="JMS" doc:name="qt1">
        <xa-transaction action="BEGIN_OR_JOIN" />
    </jms:inbound-endpoint>
    <jms:outbound-endpoint queue="test2" connector-ref="JMS" doc:name="qt2">
        <xa-transaction action="ALWAYS_JOIN"/>
    </jms:outbound-endpoint>
</flow>

When I run it in mule and turn off jboss, and then turn it on again, my app does not reconnect to jms. In fact, it does not even try! If I remove transactions from my flow (as below), everything is fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"  xmlns:jms="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jms"  xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation" xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:core="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core" xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jbossts="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/jbossts" xmlns:management="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/management" version="CE-3.2.1"  xsi:schemaLocation="

<jms:connector name="JMS" specification="1.1"  numberOfConsumers="1" jndiInitialFactory="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory" jndiProviderUrl="jnp://localhost:1099" connectionFactoryJndiName="java:/XAConnectionFactory" maxRedelivery="10" doc:name="JMS">

</jms:connector>
<flow name="flow" doc:name="flow">

    </jms:outbound-endpoint>
</flow>

Here are log fragments for these two scenarios: With transactions and Without transactions . I stopped mule after waiting for two minutes for reconnection.

My question is: what should I do to have reconnect-forever work properly with transactions?

Answer 1

I had same problem with both Jboss and ActiveMQ. It seems that the problem was resolved in issue http://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/MULE-6028 . I checked it and it seems that reconnect works well with version 3.3.0-RC3.
