There is a problem with recovering transaction started by MDB pointing to a WSMQ JMS resource.

This happens if RAR is deployed as archive. If the rar is deployed as module and that module receives dependency to jts module then recovery works fine.

For recovery of RAR deployed as archive then the recovery process fails with [1]

This means that instead of committing the unfinished transaction the txn log is put to expired part of txn object store and the transaction on wsmq broker side is left in-doubt.

This was discussed on WFLY issue: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5543 and the fix was provided by https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2550
