Hi,
we're currently in the process of porting our applications from orion to tomcat 5. As our code relies on a JTA environment we tried JOTM (which seems to be the recommended JTA environment, especially taking into account the announcements regarding the Objectweb and Apache partnership). However, the JOTM integration does not appear to be very well maintained, e.g. many IMHO crucial pooling configuration parameters are not even exposed in their JNDI ObjectFactory. After changing that I ran into bugs with the connection pool and found the code rather hard to read and therefore took a look at tyrex (After all it is still the first choice for transaction management for geronimo according to the geronimo website). However, the tyrex project (although reopened) seems to be rather dead (practically no traffic on the list) and the tomcat integration does not seem to be maintained at all. However, the Tyrex concepts and code looked OK, therefore I hacked together a tomcat integration with ObjectFactories for UserTransaction, DataSource and TransactionManager which seems to work OK.
Now I would like to know it there is an "official" position of the jakarta team regarding the use of a specific JTA environment now and in the near future (geronimo?) and if there is any interest in the code I produced for the tyrex integration (I already asked on the tyrex list but as stated above it appears to be rather dead and I got no answer).
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Robert
