Atomikos Forum

I didn't found any documentation on how to use Atomikos with servicemix.

Their documentation is pretty basic, I was wondering if it's worth trying it out and make it working...

http://servicemix.apache.org/jca.html

o use XA for an inbound connection in the JCA container you'll need to specify a transaction manager to the connector. Here's an example

<sm:activationSpec componentName="myJmsReceiver" service="foo:myJmsReceiver" destinationService="foo:receiver">
  <sm:component><bean class="org.apache.servicemix.components.jms.JmsInUsingJCABinding">

    <property name="jcaContainer" ref="jencks"/>

    <property name="activationSpec">
      <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ra.ActiveMQActivationSpec">
        <property name="destination" value="test.org.apache.servicemix.example.jca"/>
        <property name="destinationType" value="javax.jms.Topic"/>
      </bean>
    </property>

    <!-- use XA transactions -->
    <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/>
    <property name="synchronous" value="true"/>
  </bean></sm:component>
</sm:activationSpec>

 

You also need to provide a transaction manager implementation to use. Here this exampe uses Geronimo's Transaction Manager.

<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.jencks.factory.TransactionManagerFactoryBean">
  <property name="transactionLogDir" value="target/txlog" />
</bean>

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. ServiceMix seems to be pretty much tied into Jencks - would you be able to give a hint as to why switch to Atomikos?

Thanks

Hi Guy,

I would like to use atomikos since in our system we already use it for DB-JMS transactionality...

So the idea was to do not introduce yet another framework!
