Java 9 and javax.transaction

[cen]

Hello

I've seen this  JTA API on Java 9 ? and I do not quite understand what the end user should actually do. I am migrating a microservice framework to java 9 and most of javax.transaction classes are now missing.

As far as I understand, I should not use "requires java.transaction" since it only contains a subset and is deprecated. Ideally I'd need to require a module that exports full JavaEE JTA packages. Does or will narayana export the full API as a module?

Is there some other dependency that does this right now or is it basically not possible to use JTA with java 9 as of right now?

Best regards, cen

Hi Klemen,

Yeah, it's definitely to use the JTA with Java 9. Currently we have a jta-module to export the jta packages narayana/ArjunaJTA/jta-module at jdk9-experimental · jbosstm/narayana · GitHub

you could use the option with "--upgrade-module-path /path/to/directory/"

Also we are looking into the issue with automatic module add Module Name to manifest for automatic module usage in Java 9 by paulbakker · Pull Request #5 · jboss/jboss-transacti…

and the discuss about the split package Split package with java.sql module in Java 9 · Issue #4 · jboss/jboss-transaction-api_spec · GitHub
