Just tried that and some variations in websphere (websphere lists
the UserTransaction as "jta/usertransaction") and no luck
unfortunately. The UserTransaction can't be cast to Transaction or
TransactionManager. I spent some serious time searching the web for
info on this and all I could turn up was that its possible to
do in Orion + JBoss but perhaps not in WebLogic + WebSphere....

might have to do without it.
