David,
Most TMs (EJB containers in the Java world), support JTA, but only make it
available within the container. So if a bean uses a Tx the container will
use distributed Tx and 'do the right thing' with db connections etc.
What you need to find a is TM that supports JTA, and makes it available to
'third parties'. AFAIK the open source EJB containers plan to (or already
do) offer this. Check out Enhydra (www.enhydra.org) for example. I don't
know of any of the commercial vendors that do this, although I'd be very
happy if somebody could point me in the direction of one,
