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.

Thanks again Dominique!
Those documents are pretty old (and unfortunately deprecated). However, your last hints start to
match what I initially thought.
I will try at a later moment to find a way to integrate Jack's XAResource with JOTM and see how it
works. I will keep you updated.
cheers,
