[infinispan-dev] running test suite with JBossTM vs DummyTM

[Manik Surtani]

How's this for a solution:

1)  Test suite remains the same
2)  Running tests locally remains the same (using the DummyTM)
3)  Our Hudson environment runs the testsuite with the -Dinfinispan.tm=jbosstm parameter.  

This way, at least our CI builds will use a *real* TM.  If we find failures on Hudson that we want to debug locally, we add -Dinfinispan.tm=jbosstm parameter.   to any local run we want to trace.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Manik

This only happens if we run distributed transactions tough (i.e. more than one participant), otherwise the TM would optimise the call for a single resource and no disk access takes place.
