Embedded Tomcat and Transaction Manager question

[skid]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to clean up as much as possible my JBoss "default" configuration and I have a question regarding the jbossweb-tomcat41.sar.

If I look at the mbean description for this service, I have a dependency with the TransactionManager (this can be found in the file deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml) as shown below:

<depends>jboss:service=TransactionManager</depends>

What are the risks if I disable the TransactionManager and remove this dependency? How is it used by Tomcat?

Thanks a lot for your help,

skid

tomcat does not need the tx manager. This dependency is generally not needed and is a holder to when the tx manager service was not part of the conf/jboss-service.xml and there could be issues with web components talking to ejbs and other transacted resources before the tx manager was available.
