             Summary: RecoveryImpl completing in-progress transactions, 
XidFactoryImpl needs to be smarter with matching
                 Key: GERONIMO-6372
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6372
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: transaction manager
    Affects Versions: 2.2
         Environment: Aries, OSGI, camel, activemq
            Reporter: Gary Tully


Given a camel route with from("activemq:a").to("activemq:b") in a Geronimo 
managed XA transaction. On start/restart new transactions are created in 
parallel with recovery of the jms components.
There are two issues:
 * The Recovery processing can match new transactions through the 
XidFactory.matchXX methods and rollback new work in error. (Note: a xa_recover 
of activemq correctly returns *all* prepared transactions)
 * The XidFactoryImpl(byte[] seed) can create duplicate xids which could 
potentially interfere with recovering transactions and makes it impossible to 
determine from the logs what is going on.

Xids should be globally unique and recoverable. So they need a persistent 
unique seed (provided through configuration) and an ever increasing id.
The current time provides a simple approach to an increasing id that negates 
the need to persist the last used id in the transaction recovery log. 
(It has the downside of regressing if the XidFactory is recreated in the same 
millisecond, but I think this is in practice improbable outside unit tests.)

If the id component is keyed of the epoch, a recovering XidFactory can match 
only old Xids, ones created by it in a previous incarnation. In this way it can 
avoid completing newly created transactions.
