Hi Peter, For Java, you do not need the XA Switch file regardless of your connection type (i.e. binding or client mode).
To do XA transaction in binding mode, you need local MQ, transaction coordinator (i.e. WAS, WebLogic or Encina) and a DB. To do XA transaction in client mode, you need a remote MQ, ETC (locally installed), transaction coordinator (i.e. WAS, WebLogic or Encina) and a DB. The last couple of clients I went to (over the last 2 years) had similar setup: MQ, WebLogic and Oracle (on Solaris). Each was installed on separate Solaris servers and the WebLogic server had MQ Client and ETC installed. They run XA transactions successfully and I never created an XA Switch file. To my knowledge, you only need the XA Switch file for procedural languages.
