Tomcat doesn't implement that. Tomcat only implements a subset of the JEE spec. http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html However most of the parts of the spec that Tomcat does not implement can be pulled in via libraries. For JTA you can use a third party implementation with Tomcat. Atomikos, JOTM and Bitronix are ones that come to mind. These docs are a little dated, but should get you started. http://www.atomikos.com/Documentation/TomcatIntegration http://jotm.objectweb.org/current/jotm/doc/howto-tomcat-jotm.html Dan
