Hi Philipp, Declarative Services is designed to be an ultra-lightweight injection runtime, and so it doesn't include the proxying/interception capabilities necessary to support Declarative Qualities of Service like transactions. This is one of the primary drivers for choosing blueprint over DS. There are annotations for managing transactions in Aries blueprint. These are contained in the latest (1.0.1) release of org.apache.aries.transaction.blueprint. You can enable annotation support with the following: <blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0" xmlns:tx="http://aries.apache.org/xmlns/transactions/v1.2.0">
<tx:enable-annotations/> <bean id="top" class="org.apache.aries.transaction.pojo.AnnotatedPojo"/> </blueprint> I hope this helps!

Or is this only possible via Blueprint? Furthermore is there any Annotation support for the managing transactions or must this be done via the Blueprint XML? CheersPhilipp
