How to use BTM as the transaction manager in jetty6

These instructions have been verified against BTM 1.0.

Step 1: Copy the BTM jars

• btm-1.0.jar
• geronimo-spec-jta-1.0.1B-rc4.jar
• slf4j-jdk14.jar

Step 2: Configure BTM as the transaction manager

Copy the following into your jetty config file:

Step 3: Configure DataSources that are transaction aware

The easiest way to do this is to use the DataSource that ship with BTM.

Here's an example of using BTM with a DataSource that implements javax.sql.XADataSource:

The bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.PoolingDataSource implements javax.sql.DataSource and interacts with the javax.sql.XADataSource provided in this instance by Derby.

If your database vendor does not provide an XADataSource, you can use BTM's bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.lrc.LrcXADataSource as the XADataSource to allow your database connections to be controlled by the transaction manager:

Again, we've used Derby as an example, but as the LrcXADataSource uses only the class name and url of a java.sql.Driver, you can use it with any database providing a JDBC driver.
