It's hard to tell what you're doing without seeing your code. Just to clarify: The JBoss TS Recovery manager lives on the client side. How does it get hold of the list of XAResources to recover? Does it use ServerConnectionEndpoint::getPreparedTransactions()? When you are creating the Transaction instances from the database and adding to the transation repositiry are you sure you are populating their internal transaction callbacks?
