Excellent. The motivation for the JcaXAResourceWrapper is largely the same: 1) Recovery made easier for JBossTS 2) Overriding the isSameRM to fix 'broken' providers 3) Jira task to move the Pad Xid stuff out of the XidFactory and have it be a configurable option per JCA deployment (ConnectionFactory or Endpoint (inflow)). Right now this is JCA specific but I don't see any reason why would couldn't do this as a general thing. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3987537#...
