4.0.x != 4.1.x ;)  In the 4.0.x branch, you'd see a tyrex-0.9.7.0.jar
and tyrex.license files in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.

Tyrex is an open-source implementation of the Java Transaction Service.
You can use it with tomcat to have JTS (and things like XADataSource) ;)
Unfortunately the exolab folks seem to be having a lot of problems
recently, and tyrex appears dead in the water for now.
