Configure the Default JBossTS JTA
Configuration of the default JBossTS JTA is managed though a combination of the transaction manager's own properties file and the application server's deployment configuration. The configuration file resides at $JBOSS_HOME/server/[name]/conf/jbossts-properties.xml. It contains defaults for the most commonly used properties. Many more are detailed in the accompanying JBoss Transaction Service Administration Guide. Each setting has a hard-coded default, but the system may not function properly if a configuratino file does not exist. Additional configuratino is also possible as part of the Microcontainer beans configuration found in the $JBOSS_HOME/server/[name]/deploy/transaction-jboss-beans.xml file. This ties the transaction manager into the overall server configuration, overriding the transaction configuration file settings with values specific to the application server where appropriate. In particular, it uses the Service Binding Manager to set port binding information, as well as overriding selected other properties. Configuration properties are read by the Transaction Service at server initialization, and the server must be restarted to incorporate any changes made to the configuration files.
