Hi Christian I was on the same path some time ago. I don't recall all of the details from the top of my head, but there is a couple of posts about it here. http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Setting-redelivery-properties-on-XaConnectionFactory-td4679160.html http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/PooledConnectionFactory-stop-causes-org-apache-activemq-TransactionContext-to-be-declared-unhealthy-tc4679399.html Maybe there is something useful here. As i recall I ended up with broker redelivery since client side redelivery with xa was not quit working as expected. The drawback of broker redelivery is that it runs as a scheduled job, and you might loose fifo ordering. At the end of the day we didn't get enough confidence in that Activemq jca adapter + jee server was the way to go. Too hard to get right, and I recall stuck transactions asf.
