I did check out the Wiki AND the JBM documentation, but there are still some open points for me. The page that discusses the issue of JmsTemplates and connection open/close says to use the JCA-managed connection factory with JNDI name java:/JmsXA. (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBMSpringJMSTemplateNotes). Now, when I look at chapter 6.7 of the JBM user guide (http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossmessaging/freezone/...), it mentions JNDI names ConnectionFactory and XAConnectionFactory, but says nothing about whether these global namespace JNDI names actually map or not to a JCA-managed connection factory such as java:/JmsXA.
