Yeah, I'm a bit skeptic about the relationship between the OPS4j community
and the OSGi Alliance work.  It seems to always go in the same direction...
i.e. the guys working at OPS4j should help working on the project defined
by the guys working at the OSGi Alliance.

That being said, the work in Aries is about defining a new programming
model for transactions.  That's something I'm not really interested in at
this point.  In addition, my initial goal is to have support for JMS +
Narayana and both aspects are not covered.  In particular, it does create
and wrap the geronimo TransactionManager instead of re-using an external
one (even the one defined in Aries Transaction for example).

In theory, things should be layered.  For example, pax-jdbc provides a way
to expose DataSourceFactory objects in the OSGi registry.    Imho, pooling
should be done at this level, as specified in the DataSourceFactory
interface.  So pooling inside aries-tx-control is irrelevant.

This project is even at a lower level and I plan to integrate it below
pax-jdbc for the jdbc part.

That said, I may have a look at aries-tx-control and see if I can replace
some of the code there to leverage pax-jdbc and pax-transx more to help
avoiding confusion and fragmentation.
