[weld-dev] tx services

[Pete Muir]

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, as TransactionServices exposes services to Weld which uses them to (a) expose UTX as a bean and (b) register for synchronizations for TX events. So just adding TM to TransactionServices won't do very much ;-), you would also need to expose TM as a bean. Weld could do this, but in general in Weld we've tried to avoid exposing built in beans (especially for standard APIs) which aren't spec defined as this could interfere with other people. So better to propose this for CDI 1.1 IMO.
