Upgrading the Geronimo Transaction Manager used in OFBiz
While OFBiz was in the Incubator, we were able to replace the old
transaction manager (JOTM) with the one bundled with Apache Geronimo
(this was done for several reasons, including license issues).
The Geronimo Transaction Manager (framework/geronimo) has worked
pretty well until now but I'm wondering if we should consider to
upgrade it to the latest version bundled with Apache Geronimo 2.1.1.
One of the main reasons for this is that, at the time of the
Incubator, we had to include the jars of another project, Jencks, in
order to be able to use the Geronimo Transaction Manager because at
the time it was hard to pull that code out of Geronimo.
Now, after a very quick review, it seems that the new layout of
Geronimo would make it easier to reuse the TM in a cleaner way
(without the need for Jencks); we may need to include the following
jars from Geronimo:
geronimo-transaction-2.1.1.jar
geronimo-connector-2.1.1.jar
All the jars can be downloaded from here:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/components/
What do you think?
Should we try to do the upgrade before the framework release? Is it
worth of the effort?

Thanks to all for your feedback and help.
As of rev. 670160 OFBiz is running the new TX Manager from Geronimo.
I've also sent a "thank you" mail to the Geronimo users list: I think
it is a good idea to start to stay more in touch with the other sister
projects at Apache.

Absolutely, it's preferable to use an official release, even better if
it's from the ASF (I just had a quick at the Jencks site at Codehaus and
haven't found the 1.1.3 release)
I'll give your patch a try.

The good news is that the Geronimo TX manager is now managed as a
subroject with its own releases; the source code is here:
