JBossMQ is the old JMS provider that is still the default JMS provider for JBoss 4.x. JBoss Messaging will be the default JMS provider in JBoss 5.x and above. This forum is about JBoss Messaging, there is another forum that handles JBossMQ queries.

JBoss TS will be the default transaction manager in JBoss 5, and I think can already be used with JBoss 4.x. I would post a question in the JBoss TS forum to get clarification on this.

Best post in the JCA forum - they should be able to help you since I'm not an expert in the JCA area.

If commit fails then typically this will be a transitory reason e.g. no network connection, db server is down. the transaction manager will retry periodically until it works. If there is a catastrophic failure e.g. bomb in data centre then even 2pc won't help you. "felipeal" wrote : | Now, back to the original MySQL issue, the problem still remains: how to configure a XA datasource for a MySQL database on JBoss. I know this is not exactly an issue for the JBoss Messaging forum, but using JBM is the easiest way to reproduce the problem: it's just a matter of setting the JMS xml files to use such datasource and waiting to JBoss to fail on startup... I will fill a Jira issue regarding it (and explaining the whole situation), ok? | Felipe- as to how to set up an XA datasource for Mysql - I would suggest you post a message in the JCA forum - they may have some insight here.
