Hello,

Just to provide an overview of the state of JTA 1.2 (for JavaEE 7)...

We currently have the following open JIRA entries:

        Include list:
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-5 "support for container-managed transactions independent of (decoupled from) EJB"
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-7 "TransactionScope annotation for CDI bean scope/lifecycle"
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-3 "Define timing of delist/end in relation to beforeCompletion"
        Exclude list:
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-1 "How do I maintain Transaction log by Eclipse link 2.0"
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-2 "portable way to restore XAResources"
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-4 "support explicit ordering of commits for XAResources enlisted in a transaction"
        http://java.net/jira/browse/JTA_SPEC-6 "Clarify transaction interactions/restrictions in TX Synchronization callbacks"

I've just updated JTA_SPEC-7/"TransactionScoped" and appreciate any feedback on this and any other items.

Finally, I will take this opportunity to plug a BoF I will be presenting at JavaOne if anyone is interested:
Session ID: BOF6649
Session Title: What’s New in the Java Transaction API for Java EE 7 and Beyond
Venue / Room: Parc 55 - Cyril Magnin I
Date and Time: 10/1/12, 18:30 - 19:15

Regards,
Paul
