Hi,
I am using Websphere 5.1 which only supports connectors version 1.0, so I
started with the example 1.0 ra.xml from the jackrabbit source distribution.
The problem I got when I deployed that was I got the error:
[18/04/07 10:09:14:641 BST] 776311ba ConnectionFac E J2CA0104E: Authentication
mechanism preference BasicPassword is not supported by the resource adapter for
connection factory or datasource Jackrabbit.
[18/04/07 10:09:14:829 BST] 776311ba ConnectionFac A J2CA0014I: An exception
occurred while building the reference for JNDI deployment of Jackrabbit :
java.lang.Exception: RA does not support BasicPassword
So, after lots of trial and error I added this section to the ra.xml:
<authentication-mechanism>
<authentication-mechanism-type>SimpleCredentials</authentication-mechanism-type>
<credential-interface>javax.jcr.SimpleCredentials</credential-interface>
</authentication-mechanism>
Which solved that problem, although I don't know if that just works by accident
rather than by design...
>From that point on however, I had the transaction problem mentioned below.
I then changed the ra.xml to have:
<transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
rather than
<transaction-support>XATransaction</transaction-support>
And that seems to have solved all my problems.
My question is - what is the implications of changing the transaction-support
element, and why is it set to XATransaction in the example ra.xml files
distributed with Jackrabbit?
I'm sure there must be a good reason for it....
Adam.

Hi Adam,
IMO, using jackrabbit as a resource adapter in WebSphere is the better
approach. Can you tell me, what your ra.xml used in your deployment
looks like?
I suppose that WebSphere is asking for this "LocalTransaction" without
ever actually using it, and therefore returning a "dummy" object may
overcome your problem.
Kind regards
Dominique
