This is less than full blown JTA (no coordination between multiple data sources). Nope :) For grouping of task, batching starts a JTA tx under the hood. The behaviour is the same, API is different.

And why? I got now. I thought that, besides specifying setInvocationBatchingEnabled one also needs to specify a TM for batch support. I was wrong, the confusion in this email. Hope I'll make up by updating the documents correctly :) > >> >> Instead of BatchModeTransactionManager we can use Britronix JTA[1] as it is a "a simple but complete implementation of the JTA 1.1 API". Drools is using that and they are happy with it. Actually what about replacing our DummyTM with this one? Less code to maintain and our tests would be run with a more-close-to-spec TM. > > It's another dep that we really don't need.
