transaction across multiple datasource

[ballistic_realm]

HI

I found this plugin called 'datasource' to configure the domain class to point to several datasources.

My question is , is there a way to achieve transaction across different datasource? in short JTA. Since the author of the plugin stated that it is not a
XA transaction

thanks

No, XA and 2PC aren't supported. The datasources plugin will be merged into Grails core in 1.4 or 2.0 and XA will be supported then.

Hi Burt

Thanks for the fast response.

By the way, do you have a scheduled date for the XA part?


I check the grails roadmap and it does not say anything abt this

We discussed it internally but I forget whether it was planned for 1.4 or 2.0. Both are a way off - 1.4 is targeted for around March and 2.0 around the end of next year. My sense is this won't make it for 1.4, but I'm not sure what the 1.4 priorities are yet.
