Is this the limitation of JBoss JTX on local-txn: anonymous wrote : When more than one recoverable resource is involved in the transaction, management of the commit gets more complicated.

The reason for this is that if one recoverable resource has committed and another fails to commit, part of the transaction would be committed and the other part rolled back. | | To get around this problem, the two-phase XA protocol is used. http://docs.jboss.org/admin-devel/Chap4.html View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4166568#...
