Hi,
we're currently in the process of porting our applications from orion to tomcat 5. As our code relies on a JTA environment we tried JOTM (which seems to be the recommended JTA environment, especially taking into account the announcements regarding the Objectweb and Apache
I'd like to point out that Geronimo does not have anything to do with either Tomcat or Jakarta.
partnership). However, the JOTM integration does not appear to be very well maintained, e.g. many IMHO crucial pooling configuration parameters are not even exposed in their JNDI ObjectFactory. After changing that I
I thought JOTM was the TM of the moment :-( Oh well ...
The other useable TMs I know about is the one from JBoss. It embeds Tomcat, and you can configure JBoss to have just Tomcat + the TM + the DataSource (+ the management stuff) so maybe it can work for you.
ran into bugs with the connection pool and found the code rather hard to read and therefore took a look at tyrex (After all it is still the first choice for transaction management for geronimo according to the geronimo website). However, the tyrex project (although reopened) seems to be rather dead (practically no traffic on the list) and the tomcat integration does not seem to be maintained at all. However, the Tyrex concepts and code looked OK, therefore I hacked together a tomcat integration with ObjectFactories for UserTransaction, DataSource and TransactionManager which seems to work OK.
Now I would like to know it there is an "official" position of the jakarta team regarding the use of a specific JTA environment now and in the near future (geronimo?) and if there is any interest in the code I produced for the tyrex integration (I already asked on the tyrex list but as stated above it appears to be rather dead and I got no answer).
This was removed because people complained about bugs which were not fixed (since the project is no longer really active). So I'm reluctant to add back support. I got in touch with a Tyrex developer a few months ago, and suggested they added a standard ObjectFactory in their distribution. I don't know if they did it (if they did, great, there's no problem anymore).
