If you are enrolling multiple datasources they should be XA datasources, and 2 phase commit will be used (i.e. same as ejb's, and all other EE transactional resources). > b.) what about the @TransactionScoped > This should not be affected. The scope should behave the same wether the transaction is controlled by the container or by the end user, although should make sure that the behaviour between EJB's and CDI components is the same.
