When the XAResource is initialized after starting the transaction manager ACTIVE transactions from the log never get restored their XAResource and therefor can never be terminated - hanging around and stacking up forever.

I'm not really sure which one is the bug:
a) that we end up having ACTIVE transaction restored from the log at XAResourceTransaction states:
// This should not interfere with recovery since a recovered
// instance will NOT have state ACTIVE...
or
b) not setting the xaresource when it's null


so far I have gone with b) and the following patch

Sorry - just noticed this now.

What is your use case that you are recovering active transactions?

Thanks
