It is about whether propagating the transaction context between different threads in asynchronous invocations is possible or not. It is hard to find specific information about this topic, some technologies say specifically that they don't implement it but they never say why. Check out Checked Transactions semantics. This tends to be the reason most implementations stay clear. JBossTS supported Checked Transactions, but does allow you to configure this aspect so it's possible.
