FWIW there's an example in CVS now which uses JOTM directly for its 
TransactionManager. Just set the transactionManager property on the 
JCAContainer.

The JCAContainer & JCAConnector classes have no JMS dependencies and so 
should work with any JCA ResourceAdapter. The only thing we've done is 
provide a default EndpointFactory which uses JMS by default; just set a 
different EndpointFactory on the JCAConnector bean and hey presto 
you're using anything else you like.

The biggest difference is there's no EJB :)
