Filip,

thanks for your reply.

You mentioned that 'true 2 phase commit' is not implemented in JBoss? The
logging of the JBoss console at startup outputs:

[SQLServerPool] Starting
[SQLServerPool] XA Connection pool SQLServerPool bound to
java:/SQLServerPool
[SQLServerPool] Started

where 'SQLServerPool' holds SQL Server database connections. I assumed that
since this connection pool looks to be associated with a XA resource I would
have thought that one JBoss server would be able to partake in a 2PC across
multiple SQL Server databases? 

Am I missing something here??


thanks again,

Dean

nope, true 2 phase commit is not implemented,. the only server that has it
is Weblogic 6.0

use JMS to do asynchronous requests

yes, if it is stateful loadbalancing, it your request gets pinned to a
machine when the connection is established.
true loadbalancing is underway.
