Note that this work should be done as part of a new transaction control service implementation (there’s some common code which should help to speed up implementing it), not as changes to the current implementation, which is undergoing stabilisation as the Reference Implementation of the OSGi Transaction control service.
Also this update still won’t avoid the need for the JPA resource provider to have a custom plugin for transaction integration. The whole point of a managed resource is that it integrates with the Transaction Control service that gets passed to it, not by integrating with a third party service which may, or may not, be involved. Alexander - is there any chance of seeing the proof of concept code? It seems as though it’s pretty close to working with the existing bundles.
