I started looking into this and put some basic stuff in place, but with no real success. The example from Jencks was interesting but used a class called GeronimoTransactionManager that must have been from some pre-1.0 release as it does not exist in 1.0 or in the current Geronimo SVN code base.
I randomly tried some objects found looking directly at the Geronimo JavaDocs, but with no success. In a cursory review I also could not find anything along these lines in the Geronimo docs.
The infrastructure I played with is in SVN. Just change the transaction-factory tag at the beginning of the entityengine.xml file to use the now commented out geronimo one. Changes can go in the GeronimoTransactionFactory class, which is direct for now rather than using JNDI. I figure we can worry about that later and the direct model in the Entity Engine is easier for now.
If anyone has any ideas or resources related to this that would be great...
Note that none of this attempts to replace Minerva (XA aware connection pool) yet, just starting with the transaction manager for now. Of course, if anyone has any ideas about that part of Geronimo it would also be appreciated.
Note also that this is an attempt to use the embedded approach to have certain parts of Geronimo running in OFBiz rather than deploying OFBiz in Geronimo (which isn't trivial with 1.0, but may be easier with later Geronimo releases).
