Hi Dirk, Me thinks Aries JTA implements the OSGi JTA spec (Chapter 123, JTA Transaction Services Specification in the Enterprise R5 Specification). This should provide information on how to use it (thinking of "runnning outside of a container"). As such it should be usable without requiring Blueprint -- Except that you have to do the work "manually" that the Blueprint integration may do for the Blueprint components.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on JTA, but I sincerely hope that this is not requiring Blueprint. Hope this helps.

Can you give us a hint where we can find some documentation on using Aries JTA without using Blueprint. Regards, Dirk Von: Felix Meschberger [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.

In fact, IIRC we once used Aries JTA in our commercial product without using Blueprint. Regards Felix Am 19.07.2013 um 10:08 schrieb Timothy Ward: 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? Cheers Philipp
