That's two different layers. It's up to the integration layers to provide some nice hooks. e.g. for web (ServletContext) see my 'vdf' package e.g. afaik EJB3 has some hooks into MC, as its internal architecture is MC based But that's pretty much the same question as how do other non-MC-managed services get a hold of TransactionManager. --> sort of spec based jndi namespace "ralfsteppacher" wrote : | Could you be more specific about what I should look at in AspectManager? | What exactly fails - just the root cause?
