IJ000311 java.lang.IllegalStateException / "IJ000152: Trying to return an unknown connection" in JBoss EAP

Issue

• From a non-transactional context (e.g. in a servlet) a connection is used and closed (i.e. returned to the pool) before invoking a transactional method (e.g. on a session bean).
• During the transactional method a connection is used but it is not closed.
• The connection is closed during the beforeCompletion call of a transaction synchronization (due to logic in 3rd party integration code).

• Upon the closure an exception is raised and logged at INFO level
