JCA adaptor transaction management

[timfox]

If you remember we had a long debate about whether our JCA adaptor is acting legally with respect to transaction management.

See the user thread: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=161158&start=20

What is the status of this?

IIRC, we came to the conclusion that we would delegate all transaction management to the application server in order to be spec compliant, and to work well with the AS.

Is there a JIRA to track this?

Also, if we delegate all transaction management to the app server, then there's no need to locate the transaction manager in our adaptor any more, so all that stuff about specifying a class in config to locate a tx mgr becomes unnecessary, and should be removed.

This wiki page also mentions this http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/UsingHornetQwithJBoss4x so I guess should be updated too.

The work is done, I'll add a jira to cover it and also update the docs, for post beta5

[timfox]

Are you sure it's complete?

I can still see references to TransactionManagerLocatorClass in HornetQActivation.

All that stuff should be unnecessary now the AS is handling transactions.

[ataylor]

oops, forgot to remove some references, i'lldo that now

[timfox]

You still have 25 references in the source.

Go to root of project and search for "TransactionManagerLocatorClass" - case insensitive in *.java and *.xml

[ataylor]

these are used by the bridge to locate the tm, not the ra

[timfox]

There are still references in the source that relate to the RA, not the bridge.

ah yes, in the docs. done
