Absolutely.  There are far more pressing things to get in yet, which is why I 
thought I'd stub it as soon as the project requires it, then fill in the 
functionality later.

If you're going to require distributed transaction processing then the 
middleware is absolutely the place to provide it - this can be supported by a 
whole host of reasons which I'm not going to bore you with 'cos no one cares 
at the moment :o)

TP is something that GW will support ultimately anyway.

I've a dull moment in work right now, so I'm Domaining away, but I'm going to 
try and get a 'Building Goldwater Apps - Part 1' to yah all.
