Hi in the case of the Journal implementation, that map of in flight
transactions gets repopulated with the transactions when the journal
first gets started.  The journal re-plays all the journal records and
this re-builds the map of non-committed transactions.  See the
recover() method.

BTW.. on a related note I just fixed issue
https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1886, this makes the JMS
transactions commit as a single UOW to the JDBC store when a Journal
is not used.  But still does not address your XA problem.

Regards,
Hiram
