We had off-list discussions about this some time ago, as you probably
remember. I'd be glad to tell you more if you have any further questions.

Agreed.

It's very important that we have a wide range of XA test cases in test
suite, because we can't test with every possible transaction manager
implementation whenever we change something.

It would be nice to collect sample configurations of application servers
/ transaction managers as people get the driver to work with them.

I personally used JOnAS for testing. We should start to collect a list
of known working configurations.

* JOnAS
* WebLogic (with patch; I hope we can get it applied soon)
* Orion
* Simple JTA
* Geronimo (with patch, see the recent thread about auto commit problems)
