IJ000904 / IJ000905 warnings and no recovery attempted when using a security domain with an XA datasource in JBoss EAP 7.1

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.1
• IronJacamar 1.4

Issue

If a security domain rather than a username / password is used for an XA datasource in EAP 7.1, recovery is not attempted and warnings are logged:

... WARN [org.jboss.jca.core.tx.jbossts.XAResourceRecoveryImpl] (Periodic Recovery) IJ000904: No security domain defined for crash recovery: <DATASOURCE_JNDI>
... WARN [org.jboss.jca.core.tx.jbossts.XAResourceRecoveryImpl] (Periodic Recovery) IJ000905: Subject for crash recovery was null: <DATASOURCE_JNDI>

Resolution

This issue¹ is resolved in This content is not included.EAP 7.1 cumulative patch (CP) 4 and later releases.

The issue may worked around by adding an explicit recovery configuration with a recover-credential reference to the datasource:

            <xa-datasource ...>
                ...
                <security>
                    <security-domain>my-security-domain</security-domain>
                </security>
                <recovery>
                    <recover-credential>
                        <security-domain>my-security-domain</security-domain>
                    </recover-credential>
                </recovery>
            </xa-datasource>
