Are you talking about the JMS inflow? I thought you were talking about the old server session pool. Making a resource adapter depend upon a jndi lookup is not very good. If you want to do something non-portable, I'd rather you allowed the JBoss BootstrapContext (RARDeployment) let you do a getTransactionManager(). e.g. | -RARDeployment implements BootstrapContext | +RARDeployment implements JBossBootstrapContext | | public interface JBossBootstrapContext extends BootstrapContext | { | TransactionManager getTransactionManager(); | } | | | | | | | | TransactionManager tm = ((JBossBootstrapContext) bootstrapContext).getTransactionManager(); | | | | | | | In fact, as it currently stands, you can do getXATerminator() | | and cast it to a TransactionManager, but that is a different story. :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3968659#...
