Quarkus-based distribution cannot use MariaDB with Galera replication due to XA transactions being unsupported

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Using the Quarkus-based version of Keycloak 17.0.0 with a MariaDB backend with Galera replication enabled fails to start. Galera does not yet support XA transactions which Keycloak uses.

Version

17.0.0

Expected behavior

Keycloak should start normally and create a database.

Actual behavior

Keycloak fails to start with

WARN  [com.arjuna.ats.jta] (main) ARJUNA016061: TransactionImple.enlistResource - XAResource.start returned: ARJUNA016099: Unknown error code:0 for < formatId=131077, gtrid_length=35, bqual_length=36, tx_uid=0:ffffac120005:92f9:620a53be:0, node_name=quarkus, branch_uid=0:ffffac120005:92f9:620a53be:3, subordinatenodename=null, eis_name=0 >: javax.transaction.xa.XAException: (conn=140) This version of MariaDB doesn't yet support 'XA transactions with Galera replication'

How to Reproduce?

Set up a MariaDB with Galera replication enabled. No actual clustering is needed.
Build Keycloak with --db=mariadb
Start Keycloak using the Galera-replicated MariaDB as database

Anything else?

I’ve tried disabling XA transactions using quarkus.datasource.jdbc.transactions=enabled in conf/quarkus.properties before building Keycloak, but still get the same error.

So @999eagle fyi, this behaviour will change in the next version / latest main, you only need to run kc.sh build --db=mariadb --transaction-xa-enabled=false, no System Properties involved anymore.

Hi all, I’ve tried again with -Dkc.db-tx-type=enabled -Dkc.db-driver=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver and this seems to work. Thanks!
