OpenJPA is cool - good documentation and easy to use.

JPA does raise some design questions. one interesting question is how
to re-use the same data access logic between managed (eg embedded in
geronimo) and unmanaged (eg running in phoenix). this runs into design
questions about how best to integrate james with transations.

ideas?

well, questions anyway :-)

What do you expect typical transactions to include?

Do you expect more than one resource manager to participate?

- e.g. some database stuff and when using activemq spooling delivery  
of a jms message and/or sending a jms message.  This would be more  
reliable with a JTA transaction manager.

Do you expect transactions to be entirely within james or if e.g. an  
ejb with a container managed tx sends some mail in-vm will some part  
of the delivery involve work in the transaction done by james?

- if all the jpa work occurs after spooling I'd expect that  
transactions would not extend from an ejb to james -- getting a  
message off the spool might be made transactional but not the same tx  
as the ejb used to send it.  If the spooling is using jpa then putting  
the message in the spool ought to be in the ejb's tx.

I've heard that spring has a rather useful transaction manager  
abstraction, and there's a project (named after me) that adapts the  
geronimo tm to spring so you can get real xa tx in spring, but I  
haven't used this spring stuff.
