Announcement: Jencks 1.0-M1. Spring JCA, Message Driven POJO

[jstrachan]

The Jencks project has just released 1.0-M1

http://jencks.org/Jencks+1.0+M1+Release

Jencks is a lightweight JCA container which is easy to deploy inside Spring to provide Message Driven POJOs as well as to support full inbound and outbound JCA connector support in any Spring application while supporting full XA with recovery (if required).

e.g. here's Message Driven POJOs with Jencks...

Jencks resuses the WorkManager, TransactionManager and BootstrapContext from Geronimo now by default. In case you're worrying about jar-hell - we've a single jar, jencks-all.jar you can add to your classpath and you should have everything you need.

Jencks also includes a number of factory beans and interceptors for working with Geronimo. e.g. we have some helper factory beans for working with Geronimo transaction manager and work manager from Spring...

Enjoy!

It seems like it is true, but I thought I should verify:
I see at http://jencks.org/Requirements that it is not recommended to add the entire j2ee .jar but rather individual jars such as geronimo-spec-j2ee-connector-*.jar
If jencks is added to a spring project and a few of the gerenomio jar files are added via jencks-all.jar this mechanism provides transactional operations (including jdbc) for a tomcat server, without conflict (which I guess the full j2ee.jar might have)?
