Hi!
I have been trying to understand the way I can use transactions inside my application.
Unfortunately, so far I haven't been able to understand what are the requirements and what is
supposed to be done on my side to make it work.
I will try to describe my usage scenario and what I would like to see happening, and than hopefully
somebody with more experience can shed some light on my `dazed and confused´ transactional mind :-).
The environment I am working on is a multi-repository under Tomcat. The general
question would be:
a/ do I need to use a 3rd party transaction provider (like JOTM)?
b/ if a 3rd party transaction provider is involved how can I make it aware of the jackrabbit? (or it
should be the other way around?)
1/ scenario 1: single repository scenario
Inside a code fragment, where I already have opened the Session (and sometimes some of the nodes are
already retrieved), I want to perform a set of modifications on the repository nodes in a
transactional mode.
- is it possible to use a UserTransaction to demarcate the transaction? what
are the limitations?
2/ scenario 2: multiple repository scenario
Same as above, but the modifications are performed in multiple repositories. Is it needed to use in
this case a XAResource?
Sorry if some of the above sound stupid, but right I am really really confused. Please help me pass
over this confusion moment.
thanks a lot in advance,

ps: I have read a few times the spec fragment regarding transactions. I have also searched the
mailing list and even if I have been able to find some related threads, these unfortunately helped
get more confused. thanks again
