Difference between JmsXA and *XAConnectionFactory

[pharaohh]

Can somone please tell me the difference between the jndi object bound at java:/JmsXA and the others (e.g. UIL2XAConnectionFactory, OIL2XAConnectionFactory)?

One would assume that when publishing to a topic from within an EJB using any ***XAConnectionFactory in jndi, you would automatically be enlisted in a JTA XA transaction while publishing.

This is not covered in the AdminDevel subscription docs, so any reply is graciously received...

As discussed many times and mentioned on the WIKI and the JMS javadocs.

The XAConnectionFactory is intended for use by the application server,
e.g. the resource adapter (java:/JmsXA) can use it so that JCA can inject the transaction.

Unless you are going to take over all the plumbing involved in enlisting the
XASession's XAResource in the JTA transaction, you shouldn't use the XAConnectionFactory directly.

Hi Phar.

I think all the wikis and docu reference mentioned by adrian are referred to in:
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=51277

Unless you are going to take over all the plumbing involved in enlisting the
XASession's XAResource in the JTA transaction, you shouldn't use the XAConnectionFactory directly.

By "XAConnectionFactory directly" he presumably means the one bound by the ILs (?)
This is the closest i've gotten to getting an answer/explanation about the difference.

BTW your post to the jboss-dev forum titled "XA Messaging" has been or will be deleted. Please post it again in the user forum...so we can hopefully find some answers. We + customers are having the same problems.

cheers

I would love to do that, but I can't find the previous post anymore...I guess it has already been deleted...

I assumed that the cause of my problem (publishing before transaction commits) would be solved by the answers I received in this thread ;)

I'll let you know how things go once I try out the JmxXA approach...

Thanks to all for the quick responses!

Posted your "XA Messaging" post under http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3842263#3842263

the java:/JmsXA lookup worked!

Thanks very much,
