title: How to use standalone JBoss Transactions with Spring, Hibernate and JPA?
body: <p>I have an app that is deployed on Tomcat but I need to use JTA because I am connecting to multiple data sources. I don't want to use JBoss AS but would like to use the JBoss transaction manager. I currently have my app configured to use Bitronix but my boss wants me to use something more popular. Sigh.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to use the JBoss transaction manager with Spring and Hibernate but not use JBoss AS?</p>
