There will be *LOT* of applications which would have configured XADataSource property in non javabean convention , the sample xa-ds.xml also contain the same pattern . To make this JIRA changes having no impact on such configurations I am thinking of providing a configurable property in xa ds.xml file which will decide if the javabean convention needs to be followed . This flag should be enabled explicitly in the ds.xml file as <java-bean-convention/> If we don't do this way then we might land up in explaining this to most of our USERS which we would not like to do now :( Also we might land up in changing/testing all the sample xa-ds.xml file.
