BUG: Java Components Hang When Run in Transaction Server

• Microsoft Transaction Server version 2.0
• Microsoft Visual J++, versions 1.1 and 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When accessing a Java component that is running in Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) from more than one client, the first call will succeed, but all subsequent calls will fail to return. The application stops responding (hangs) until the first client releases its reference.

CAUSE

Microsoft Transaction Server does not properly initialize activity threads for Java components.
