How do I use Atomikos with Maven?
Our latest releases are maven compatible and we have our own maven repository (the URL is included in the download email which is sent to you after you complete the
TransactionsEssentials Download Form).
How can I disable lookup of jta.properties?
Setting the system property
com.atomikos.icatch.no_file to an arbitrary non-null value will avoid lookup of any properties file. In that case, you must supply the properties as a constructor argument to the
UserTransactionServiceImp object.
If you want to use a specific file of your own, you can set the system property
com.atomikos.icatch.file to contain the full path to your own properties file. In that case, jta.properties won't be searched either.
Do you support the 'last-resource' gambit?
Yes, see
Using non-XA JDBC drivers
Can I use third-party connection pools?
Yes and no. You can, if these pools are compliant with our JTA design. See
Using an external connection pool with TransactionsEssentials for the underlying explanation.
