Re: do XA connections support SSL?

Kris,

thanks for your comments. I decided to try to patch the XA datasource
code. Luckily the datasource relies heavily on the pgjdbc driver which
already supports SSL. I'm no pgjdbc expert so I might have done
something wrong. In any case, the patch below works for me.  I post it
here for anyone looking for XA with SSL support.

In the XA datasource descriptor you'll have to add:
<xa-datasource-property name="Ssl">true</xa-datasource-property>

Best regards,
Stefan
