You can. There are some examples of how to setup JOTM and Tomcat on the web to support transactions on datasources, i.e. http://jotm.objectweb.org/current/jotm/doc/howto-tomcat-jotm.html As far as I can tell from the documentation, JOTM can handle any type of XAResource and this would imply, that it can handle Jackrabbit's XASession as well, but this would probably need some time to work it out. > I will definitely take a look at XATest, but don't know if it makes any sense > after > the remark that Tomcat is not an application server and so it most probably > doesn't have a resource adapter discovery mechanism. If you simply need local transactions in one repository, I would still recommend accessing the XAResource interface directly for reasons of simplicity. However, if transactions should span multiple repositories, I would definitely take a look at how JOTM integrates with Tomcat and JDBC Datasources and find a way to adapt this to Jackrabbit's XAResource implementation.
