We're actually only using the transaction manager from Geronimo. For
XA aware connection pooling and an XA wrapper for non-XA JDBC drivers
we are using a version on Minerva that we pulled a couple of years
ago from an even older version of JBoss.
This is a tricky thing and there aren't any great solutions we've
found when you want to embed the stuff, but this is working pretty
well for us, even in production environments.
Yes, my experience with XAPool has also been less than great. I
wasn't able to find an easy way to use the XA aware pooling and XA
JDBC wrapper from Geronimo. Actually, even using the transaction
manager was tough and required using some classes from Jencks that
were written by some of the Geronimo developers to make embedded use
possible in that projects (hence the jencks jar file in the geronimo
component of OFBiz).
