I'm working on the Remoting 3 implementation of XAResource and I'm trying to figure out if transaction timeouts are better enforced on the local or remote side. With JCA resource adapters, are the transaction timeouts typically enforced by the resource adapter (I assume using the Timer stuff), or is it standard practice to have the actual resource itself manage the timeout (the database or whatever you're connecting to)? Basically I'm trying to come up with any reason that the resource adapter would not just deal with timeouts itself.
