(I have heard that you can use spring tm standalone, may thats what u did, pls correct me if I am wrong)  Actually there is no spring transaction manager implementation in the sense of actually managing transactions.  Spring relies on other people for the actual jta implementation, such as the jencks project (wrapping the geronimo tm), JOTM, or the tm in a j2ee server such as WAS or WLS.  What I did was just wrap ours like the WAS or WLS tm is wrapped (except since my wrapper is single purpose it is somewhat simpler). thanks david jencks   Regards,   Rajith.   On 2/2/06, David Jencks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Feb 2, 2006, at 4:42 PM, Rajith Attapattu wrote: > Hi, > > Can somebody please clarify as to the extent of Spring support we > have within Geronimo. > I did read David Jencks comments on the JIRA issue, but couldn't > grasp the overall context of the sping involvment within G. > > So I really appreciate a bit more background and more specific > information on the topic. I know that it is possible to run a spring app started from a servlet init method in geronimo (namely jetspeed2). We'd like to expose our services such as the transaction management and connectors in spring.  I don't know much of anything about Spring so I just barged ahead and implemented a spring-tm to geronimo-tcm adapter.  If anyone knows how to determine how much it works, please help out :-) There's also the jencks project which has a different purpose.  They are not running anything in the geronimo kernel, but rather starting the geronimo jta and j2ca components in spring.  I don't think that those components will be very useful for exposing components running in the geronimo kernel in spring, but I could be wrong. thanks david jencks > > thanks, > > Rajith
