Re: [jakartaee-spec-project-leads] Issue with exceptions from javax.tran

I think these are required for CORBA. We are in the process of writing some CORBA code to cope with the issue see https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/orb/pull/104 but a wider discussion is welcome.

Subject: [jakartaee-spec-project-leads] Issue with exceptions from javax.transaction referenced in JDK

 

Hi,

 

I have found that there are some javax.transaction exceptions that are in JDK 8 and at least referred to later. They are also present in Oracle Java SE 8 javadocs. I am not sure what to do.

 

Although they don't appear to be in the Oracle Java SE 14 javadocs:

* https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/14/docs/api/index.html

You can see they are in the Oracle Java SE 8 javadocs:

* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/transaction/InvalidTransactionException.html

* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/transaction/TransactionRequiredException.html

* https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/transaction/TransactionRolledbackException.html

 

I can see that the source is present in OpenJDK 8:

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/tree/jdk8-b120/corba/src/share/classes/javax/transaction

* The three exceptions are imported and used in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk8-b120/corba/src/share/classes/com/sun/corba/se/impl/javax/rmi/CORBA/Util.java

 

I don't think the actual source remains on master for OpenJDK (at least in the main repo, maybe CORBA is held elsewhere?):

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/tree/master/src

Though I can see there are still references to these classes in OpenJDK (at least):

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/search?q=InvalidTransactionException&unscoped_q=InvalidTransactionException

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/search?q=TransactionRequiredException&unscoped_q=TransactionRequiredException

* https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/search?q=TransactionRolledbackException&unscoped_q=TransactionRolledbackException

 

Given we support JDK 8 (https://jakarta.ee/resources/JakartaEE-Datasheet-July172020_final.pdf) I am not sure what to do.

 

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions you can offer,

Tom
