So use healthy scepticism with the answer below. With all external transaction frameworks, the problem is that at the moment, Torque does not have a "Transaction Info" object which is passed around in a transaction, it only passes a jdbc connection around (There is a Transaction object but it does not contain information about the current transaction). So the problem is that there is not really a way to pass transaction info around. But maybe one can use a custom Data source providing a custom Connection wrapper object which contains the connection information and the transaction information. This would probably mean some ugly casts, and patches to the Torque Transaction object, but perhaps it could work. Thomas
