While it's common to use the Java Transaction API and the XA protocol for distributed transactions in Spring, you do have other options. The optimum implementation depends on the types of resources your application uses and the trade-offs you're willing to make between performance, safety, reliability, and data integrity. In this JavaWorld feature, SpringSource's David Syer guides you through seven patterns for distributed transactions in Spring applications, three of them with XA and four without.

New services can be submitted by anyone and dropped into your project at anytime.
Additional services are already in development.
Share URLs, images, text, and even files. ShareKit will only display the services that can handle the content you want to share.
Offline Sharing
ShareKit works offline! Users can share even without an internet connection. The next time a connection is available, ShareKit will send the pending items.
Anyone can help improve ShareKit or submit new services. It is also entirely free to use and modify.
The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project aims at providing a universal integration platform for all things around home automation.
It is designed to be absolutely vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic. openHAB brings together different bus systems, hardware devices and interface protocols by dedicated bindings. These bindings send and receive commands and status updates on the openHAB event bus. This concept allows designing user interfaces with a unique look&feel, but with the possibility to operate devices based on a big number of different technologies. Besides the user interfaces, it also brings the power of automation logics across different system boundaries.
openHAB is a pure Java solution, fully based on OSGi. The Equinox OSGi runtime and Jetty as a web server build the core foundation of the runtime.
The openHAB Designer, which is the configuration tool for the openHAB Runtime, is an Eclipse RCP application with Xtext-based editors to offer a highly user-friendly way of editing configuration files, UI definitions and automation rules. For the automation rules, JBoss Drools builds the backbone.
If you are a fan of Java/OSGi/Eclipse, openHAB should be the perfect match for you. If you are not, you might want to consider other tools like Misterhouse, which aim at almost the same thing and are very mature already.
As the OSGi platform allows a highly modular architecture, the bindings are realized as different bundles, which can be dynamically plugged to openHAB, so that every user can decide on the bindings he is interested in.
Here are some examples for bindings (but please be aware that most are not yet implemented):
Currently, there is only one user interface available for openHAB, a web-based UI, which can be used from many different devices. Nonetheless, openHAB is designed in a way that there can easily be added further user interfaces; be it a remote terminal or a native iPad application.

Jmxterm is an open source command line based interactive JMX client. It's designed to allow user to access JMX from command line without graphical environment. In another word, it's a command line based jconsole.
Internally Jmxterm depends on JDK jconsole library but it doesn't require graphical environment(such as X in linux) at runtime.

OSGi services can be easily configured using the ConfigurationAdmin service. If you add metadata to your services, they can be configured with a nice user interface such as the Apache Web Console. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to create the metadata, set up the web console, and configure your services.
The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit provides tools for creating Interactive Data Visualizations for the Web.
