Distributed Transaction, only with Tyrex

[hergaty]

Help, it seems, that I'm the first one, who posts here. Litte hope, to get an answer ... oh oh ... but I try it.

I need distributed transactions for my application, to call one SessionBean on Server A from another SessionBean on Server B.

So my questions:
1. When will JBoss support distributed transactions?
2. Whats the best (fastest, cheapest) choice for a third-party TM? Tyrex?
3. How to integrate such a TM?
3. How does a common workarround look like, not to use transactions over the net?

Thank you for every advice,
Thomas

jboss 4. There is some untested support already if you use the TrunkInvoker.

Tyrex is the only one I know of. It apparently doesn't support tx logging however.

There is an integration, I'm not sure if it works for any jboss 3.x version.
