Getting Transaction was rolled back in a different thread exception
So I have 2 xa-datsources configured in my Wildfly 10 Application Server and I am using Hibernate ORM 5.2.9. And the DB is Postgres 9.6
In my application I have an EJB which has 2 nested for loops and I have to read data from a table in every iteration of the nested loop. But after some time I'm getting this exception
javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Transaction was rolled back in a different thread!
I can't understand why this is happening. I have a small proof of concept application which uses JDBC to connect to the DB and everything works fine.
EDIT This is the stacktrace after the exception I mentioned is thrown:

Answer
So I think I figured out what's happening. As it seems, when my EJB method is invoked the Container creates a global JTA transaction, or something like that, which has a timeout of 5 minutes (default from Wildfly). Since my business logic (the nested loops) is taking more than that time to process, the transaction times out and throws that exception when I try to access the DB again.
