Description

After creation of connection in DataSourceXAConnectionFactory::createConnection() the instance of XAConnection is ready to be garbage collected. But in MySQL Connector/J this instance holds the real physiscal connection to MySQL server. Thus, simple test case (in attach) opens 2 connections to server and the first one can be considered as "leak".

The possible solution is to close "parent" XA connection as soon as "child" Connection is closed as well. Due to compatibility issues it may be an option for BasicManagerDataSource. However, Derby seems okay with both variants (according to my test cases with JOTM/Hibernate/Derby/DBCP(+-patch))

In the attachment - "manual" test case, since i don't know how to count real MySQL connection number in runtime. When BasicManagedDataSource is used (change it at ~43) we can create breakpoint at line "connection.close();" (~115). According to MySQL Administrator there are 2 connections, but according to pool - only one. If BasicManagedDataSourceXAClose is used - first connection correclty closed.

This issue created serious problems in out production system, but, due to existing workaround (replace BasicManagedDataSource and DataSourceXAConnectionFactory) priority is minor.
