Major Description
From the EmbedConnection.java comment for "xa_prepare".
// On a prepare call, xa allows an optimization that if the
// transaction is read only, the RM can just go ahead and
// commit it. So if store returns this read only status -
// meaning store has taken the liberty to commit already - we
// needs to turn around and call internalCommit (without
// committing the store again) to make sure the state is
// consistent. Since the transaction is read only, there is
// probably not much that needs to be done.
When XATransactionController.XA_RDONLY is returned, no "commit" or "rollback" will be received. If a XA transaction timer was started (could be through the derby.jdbc.xaTransactionTimeout=xxx for example), then these transactions will not have their timer canceled and will later attempt to cancel the transaction and fail as the transaction no longer exists.
