The internal implementation of Neo4j's transaction manager is not
currently exposed for use by 3rd party resources. This means that,
while capable of coordinating a 2PC you cannot use it to do so as a
standalone TM like JOTM. The work we have done is actually the reverse
of that - it substitutes Neo4's TM for an externally provided one,
since both our transactional resources (neo store and lucene indexes)
are XA compatible.

For you this means that you have to use an external TM (like Atomikos
and JBossTM that you mentioned - we have also tested SpringSource's
implementation and JOTM and found all four of them to work) to
coordinate your XA datasources. Doing so for Tomcat however is
something we have not tried yet - the blog posts Michael mentioned
should cover a lot of ground nevertheless, the only thing not covered
is integration with the container, the rest should work.

I will try and replicate your scenario locally and see what trouble
may rise but I am really interested to see how it went for you.

Hope that helped a bit,

CG
