getting javax.transaction.RollbackException: Prepare: NO vote with Atomikos JTA

Question

I am using Hibernate and Atomikos for JTA for one of my proof of concepts. I am getting a JTA transaction unexpectedly rollback exception, maybe due to a timeout. The exception is:

javax.transaction.RollbackException: Prepare: NO vote

Answer 1

This error occurs if a transaction is requested to commit but has already been rolled back due to a timeout. So your assumption is totally right. The solution is to increase the transaction timeout.
