I took a quick look at those changesets and I have two points: I may be misunderstandin ghte model, but it seems that ManagedConnectionFactoryDeployment.getXAResources() creates a new connection on each call, which is good in that if the db crashes and recovers whilst the app servers stays up, the system will effectively reconnect rather than continuing to use a stale connection. However, as far as I can tell, it's never disposing those connections. Since the recovery system will make one pass every two minutes by default, it's going to leak pretty badly.  The integration SPI does not allow for explicit disposal, so the best bet is probably to keep a handle on the last connection used and on each call to getXAResources either validate it (i.e. ping the db to make sure it's still there) and reuse it, or explicitly release it and get a new one. The XAResourceWrapperImpl usage appears to be applied only to XAResources used for recovery, not he ones used during normal transaction usage. It would be helpful to have the same wrapping applied to the XAResource handed out to the transaction manager during normal operation, as that would allow correlation in the logs between the tx run and the recovery. I'm guessing that's a fairly minor cutnpaste type fix - any chance of squeezing it in?
