Heikki,
Thanx for your answer.
So, if I want XA-support I need postgresql 8.1 at least on the databases I need to use?
I'm using a postgres-ds.xml with XA-support (JBoss config file) which I think you suggested to use (I found it on some jira-related site). Is that all I need to have XA-support/two-phase-commit-support? I mean there is nothing to modify in my code or elsewhere?

X/Open XA is a standard interface for performing two-phase commit across
different resource managers, like databases.
In Java-world, XA is mapped to the Java Transaction API (JTA). XA
support basically means that the driver comes with an implementation of
the javax.sql.XADataSource interface.
You need two-phase commit if you want to update two databases in a
single atomic transaction.
